 Discussion/comments 

 DoneBetter to include the official copyright page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights instead of a redirect to it? OTOH, you could use one of the prewritten form letters for this situation (although the personal touch is always nice:).   

Hmmm... maybe is 3 days after the first notice a little bit short to shut a part of the internet off.   

Apparently the only contact with the web site was a ""rude email"" sent sometime on Friday.  It's now only Monday.  Have the esteemed editors here considered going the route of 'polite request and education' rather than 'over-the-top ridiculous legal threat'?  I've made more detailed remarks in the concurrent thread at AN/I. (talk) 

 Woaahh there!  The suggestion above is WAY over the top.   We don't have to invent a way to do this -
