As I and others have pointed out, there must first be a cease and desist
order. If upon receipt of that order the material is removed from the
website there is no further recourse. Any possibility of trouble ends
there. There is no call of any lawyers unless the IRTC wishes to contest the
order and challenge the assertion of copyright. Adverse publicity? For
making a mistake?
Why are you being so confrontational? Are we not just exchanging
opinions as laymen in this matter?
