Just out of interest, I note that the user in question is claiming that his
copyright has been violated.
So at what point does attempting to assert your copyright become "making a
legal threat"?
Should a copyright holder whisper very gently "you're violating my
copyright, but that's OK, we wouldn't want the lawyers involved"?
Having dropped this question into the thread, I am now going to attempt to
find out WTF this brouhaha is all about...
