Feedburner feed issue

I have some serious problem with one website that is publishing my Feedburner feed content without giving the proper links. They remove all the links from the Feedburner feed, including the AdSense units.

Since I couldn't find anywhere on feedburner.google.com how to stop a certain user (IP) from accessing my Feedburner feed, I was wondering. Do you guys know any possibility for stopping this website from accessing my feedburner feed?

Thank you!
Regards!

I would contact the site owner and ask them to stop. If they don't, contact their host. If that doesn't work, file a DMCA with Google.

You could also publish only a snippet of the text in your feed instead of the whole article. That may not stop them from getting the content directly from your site, but it might make things difficult enough that they will figure it isn't worth the trouble. Plus, if they are coming from a specific IP, you can easily block that IP from accessing your site. I'm pretty sure that you can't do that in FeedBurner.

I tried to contact them, but with no result.
Their IP is already blocked. This is exactly the problem. They get the content from the feedburner feed, not my website. I have no control over which IP gets access to it. This is the issue.

I remember that I saw once an option in feedburner to stop a certain domain from accessing your feed, but unfortunately it's not there anymore. That was really useful. Maybe they put it back.
