Personally I'd try to first contact Al-Jazeera (in a friendly and direct way, not DMCA) before a name and shame. This could after all be the fault of some technical intern at Al-Jazeera who didn't think twice about ripping code. And I suppose DMCA notices are easily ignored if they come via e-mail.

They didn't just rip code though. They ripped the entire story...that's gotta go higher than some random intern.

It's the same author. Probably misunderstanding about redistribution etc. Shoddy work but dmca is stupid.

It is more likely they payed to redistribute the story, just not to the presentation company but to the writer or paper.
