what can we actually do about this?

It looks like they took it from a link here:

The horse has bolted -- what do people think should be done?

This happens semi-regularly. There was an I Love Books thread that appeared a few newspapers, including direct copies of some of the posts. At the time the response was more "really, cool?" and less "hang on WTF?" but that's to be expected seeing as it was a frivolous thread about books rather than people actually telling stories about family members.

Email the newspaper, linking to the "Do I Have Copyright On Posts I Make To ILX?" bit in the FAQ, warn them about doing it again. Maybe ask if they can have a 'quiet word' with the journalist about cut-and-pasting off message boards as opposed to actually writing anything. Perhaps get them to take the article in question offline?

Mercifully there are no names attributed to the posts in question and no direct link or mention of ILX.
