Brandt dug up an old webpage of mine, one which I

remembered the password and removed the pictures of
myself and any personal information, and added a link
to Google-Watch-Watch. I guess that pissed him off,
so now instead of linking to the page, Brandt has
posted a copy of my page (prior to alterations) and
the pictures on his own website. Advice on how to
handle this would be much appreciated. Obviously this
is a blantant copyright violation but I'm not sure
what to do about this.
DMCA notice. Anyone from any country can send one of these. To him and
two levels of upstream. Possibly as a press release as well.

- shows how [[Tilman Hausherr]] has successfully used DMCA notices sent
from Germany when Scientology-related organisations played fast and
loose with his photos.
The takedown provisions of the DMCA are a matter of great concern, but a
DMCA notice when someone is pretty damned clearly *ripping off your
stuff* is IMO quite morally sound.
