Hello John and Adam,

For the record, it is against the law to use someone elses copyrighted 
material on the internet for commercial purposes. The Digital Millennium 
Copyright Act does not apply to non-commercial uses however, at least 
that's the way I read it. You can generally submit a complaint to the 
infringer's server and he will probably lose his account. The servers do 
recognize and take action against such copyright infringement. Most 
servers have the official forms that can be filled out online, but the 
required information is exhaustive... but perhaps worth the effort for 
the peace of mind it provides.

David
