The information you are now requesting
has already been supplied -- in the
NOTICE AND DEMAND previously transmitted.

An electronic copy of that message is
not conveniently available to me at
this moment.

You have our permission to contact the
individual subscriber(s) responsible for
the web page(s) in question.

In further reply to your message below,
we refer you to Internet URL:

  http://supremelaw.com/wwwboard/messages/1200.html

If you don't understand plain English,
then get some help -- somewhere else.

Copies of "The Federal Zone" now extant on the
Internet were stolen, and then modified
WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S PRIOR PERMISSION.

We are therefore now demanding that ALL copies,
in whole or in part, and ALL links, whether
in web pages or in search indexes, be removed
COMPLETELY AND IMMEDIATELY.

I am sure that Webster's Dictionary has most
of the above words well defined, for your
reading enjoyment.

If you don't understand the legal implications,
then hire someone who can explain it all to you.

There are criminal penalties in the federal
copyright laws, in case you are ignorant of
these laws.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
