Well, for starters I strongly suggest you get a copyright notice up on your pages. It might not have stopped this nitwit but it never hurts, and despite what some ill-informed folks on the list seem to think, you don't need to register anything you create to claim (or own) the copyright to it. Nobody's seems to be linking to "his" Squarepusher discog, but a number of people are linking to other pages of his; they might take down those links if you hunt them down and explain to them what he's doing. Notice or not, you *do* own the copyright to this material. Mention that to his service provider. Don't mention lawyers unless you're really willing to back it up with at least a cease-and-desist letter. (You may have to if you're serious about getting him to stop.) How well do you know *your* service provider? Would they block access to your pages from his domain? Sorry to hear you're in this spot. I've been there too and it sucks. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists
