F*ck them! If anyone knows a great copyright attorney in the U.S., please send me the details or ask them to get in touch with me.
Hmm -- did you say "copyright"? I wonder what would happen if you sent them a DMCA takedown notice. To quote Salvor Hardin, "It's a poor atom blaster that doesn't point both ways." (And there's another Hardin quote that seems particularly apt when talking about wielding the DMCA: "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.") --Steve Bellovin, https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
