Google is terrible at support in general. I've been reporting a blogspot website stealing my documents and impersonating me for making money by ads for over two years. I sent my passport two times, and some friends also sent a report for me. Result? not even a verification e-mail. They simply host website that attacks my intellectual property, my name and give me no piece of shit.

Identity fraud is a criminal matter. Talk to the police. If they have stolen copyrighted material, file a DMCA.

  It's a technical doc without copyrights, that I wrote 8 years ago...

    Then call the police if they are committing identity fraud.

    IANAL, but I did take an IP law course. If I recall correctly, you have copyright from the moment that you create the work. You can have it officially registered at a later date, however, you might be limited in collecting damages to infractions after the registration date. I'm not sure what happens if they registered the copyright. Presumably you could sue them if you can demonstrate that you were the true creator. I don't understand the part about sending a passport. I do think that filing a DMCA notice is certainly the easiest way. Google has to listen to that.

      I sent a copy of my passport to Google since they want me to prove I report impersonation. I really hate dealing with legal cases and also since I'm a Turkish guy living in US, and the website impersonating me is also Turkish, I don't wanna spend my time on this shitty case. I just believe this; Google should start being friend with people.

    I don't understand what you mean. If the document was written only 8 years ago then its still got decades of copyright protection. You don't need to do anything besides write the document to have those rights.
