This has nothing to do with personalized search. Zero.

If you want to reclaim some of the authority you should contact those who copied your content in it's entirety and get them to take it down or eliminate all but a paragraph and give you attribution for it. Remind them that you are within your right to file a DMCA with their web host, search engines, and possibly their domain name registrar but that you'd rather settle it amicably. That usually does the trick and minimizes the possibility of creating enemies.
