Ok, yesterday several emails and letters went off to the a) siteholder b) the isp and hoster and c) to the russian ministery of interior. After some back and forth we compromised that the sender was the dpt of justice of the local govt amd not the govenors office itself. Content was the list of all the links I could gather here, futher the contents of a huge complaint by a german picture database unrelated to what has happened here. It contained especially a referrer to some informal agreements between russian governement and the european union concerning "intensivation of efforts to limit and penalise infringements of third party rights ..." etc blah blah. hth in some way but dont count on it. cheers, Valerie
