[Joel Rosenblatt <joel () COLUMBIA EDU>]

Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a big increase - sure am glad I have that nifty automated DMCA system in 
place :-)

Month      #  % of year

Jan . .  237  8.5%
Feb . .  209  7.5%
Mar . .  115  4.1%
Apr . .  246  8.8%
May . .  185  6.6%
Jun . .   85  3.0%
Jul . .  157  5.6%
Aug . .  114  4.1%
Sep . .  222  8.0%
Oct . .  398 14.3%
Nov . .  534 19.3%   <-- this is the all time high for us for 1 month
Dec . .  264  9.5%

Thanks,
Joel
