chris, i have recently had similar problems with copyright violation of image and sound material produced by my company and myself. Calling the lawyer would be the "official" way, but i dont think you can get the little bastard down like this. instead, I agree with melanie to put a disclaimer on your site. Then contact his ISP and tell them to put the site down. I am running my own webhosting company her in the EU and in the USA and i can tell you we (the ISP's) have to react to such calls, because expecially in the EU an ISP is lately responsible for the content its customers provide on their sites. Furthermore post his names and a short description of his misdeeds to all concerning newsgroups. believe me, there are a lot of people out there willing to bring him down. finally i have to excuse myself about my bad english too, even if i spend a lot of time in the US i am still german, so if anyone want's to contact me, feel free in either lanugage. i can offer advice about ISP and copyright questions i aswell do model photography (some know our pics) and musical productions. Sad to say the inofficial ways are somethimes the best to get helped with such subjects like copyright violation, you have contacted him enough and demanded removal of your work. If he'd excuse himself and rewarded you i would have understood... so we are a community here, i'm not that long a member of renderosity, but i feel at home here! and we don't want you to delete your beautiful work because of one simple idiot. we can handle this! and remember: free speech! no need to excuse this posting, the forum's here to talk about! and i like it very much! cya all! -Ede
