So I fired off some faxes and emails - to Adsense [google.com] - which is all over this particular scraper - and the hosting ISP. (invalid emails and private domain details for the offending site)
The ISP - despite a very curt email in response - did get the customer to remove the content.
But - Adsense - not even an email in return.
I followed up - nothing back about 5 days later. So now the infringing content is no longer shown - but adsense is still there on pages with no content - and - on millions of other pages of other peoples content on the infringing site.
Obviously I'm very disappointed in the lack of response from Google.
But is this the same experience others have had? Is this a normal response? has anyone had any luck getting adsense removed from a scraper site?
(Adsense Advisor - any comment?)
Not clear what you exactly want to say. If you are talking about that we are running a copied site intentionally then just wanted to clear we have checked every single page and got fresh content on all of them.

If someone accused me of copyright theft, I would know immediately that it wasn't a valid accusation because I don't steal content. I think that was the point koan was making - if you're not sure, there's a reason.
I don't know what you mean by "fresh" content - the question is whether or not it's original or whether you can legally use it if it's not original.
If you need to check your pages, that's a red flag.
Now, it may be someone else is supplying you with content. If that's just one article, checking to see if that content has been stolen is not a quick task - it takes some time to do it properly. If you have 10 or 100 or 1,000 or more articles, the time required to do it thoroughly can be tremendous.
If someone else is providing your content and you're putting it on a page with AdSense, you're taking a risk. Period.
