Brandt dug up an old webpage of mine, one which I assumed had been deleted by my alma mater. 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.
