Review Your DMCA Removal Request Before Submitting to Google
Make sure you go through your request prior to hitting the Submit button.
Note that it may be a bit time-consuming to go through your request, but that’s the right thing to do to get the very best.
Good news, in a matter of days, all of the links to your copied content will have been removed completely from the search and your stolen organic traffic will be fully restored.
However, if the bloggers copying your content are AdSense users and they have Google Ads displayed on their pages, use this link to report such to the Google AdSense unit for copyright infringement. The copying blog owners will lose access to their AdSense accounts.
Hurray!!! You can now start removing all of those links which have your copied content and stolen keywords. You can also begin to recover all of your lost traffic. The traffic will surely keep coming back to you in a couple of days and the copy-paste blog owners will have to suffer for this; not you.
Formerly, I wasn’t doing anything about my content being copied elsewhere and wasn’t reporting such copied stuff to Google at all, not until I realized this fact that I would potentially be the one to receive penalty from Google for being copied. So, if you were in my shoes, it’s high time you started doing the right thing to protect your online reputation and ranking power.

I realy want the image they stole removed from there site though as I don't want to be linked in any way and not in any way to this site as there 'adult images' they use are hihgly improperty.
Can I use the form to report this in this case or should I do something else as only the feature image got stolen?(I made the image on my own phone)
Thanks for your advice.

I agree with you that we need to preserve our effort but still, when you have the same niche as many others, it is inevitable to write about the same topic or part of it sooner or later. Therefore, it is not the best choice to report anyone, you think they have stolen your content. if they copied the whole thing then it is a different story.
It is just my opinion, but if someone stole the whole thing you can report them, but finding the same sentences or topics is normal for websites with the same niche. So I am not really happy to spread such training without more details about what to report and what not to report, to avoid confusion and harming innocent bloggers. Some people might use this training to remove the competition from their way.
Accept my opinion.
