New description:

 Someone had used Wordpress to create a website where they offer books for
 free without permission by the author or the publisher. This is copyright
 infringement that I can't stop for there is no place on their website to
 denounce this breach of the law.

 But letting them go on as they do would be to encourage them to keep on
 with this crime.

 So I need you to do something to stop this. See the book offered for free
 below.

 ''url removed''

 If you look at the bottom of the page, you'll see that they used Wordpress
 to create this page.

Comment:

 Hi @Tyran,

 WordPress is free open-source publicly-available software which anyone can
 use to create any form of site they wish.

 While WordPress does not condone copyright infringement, WordPress.org has
 no direct control over the site in question or any ability to contact the
 site owner, we simply offer the software which they've used to create
 their site.

 I'm marking this as invalid as this isn't a bug within WordPress, you'll
 need to contact the author of the site or host
