Paul,
With all due respect I hereby offer a little background on my particular
situation that may enable you to understand the futility of your current
course of action.
First, because you are "attacking" me with your "threat" of legal action
you "force" me to respond to your notice of alleged copyright violation.
Second, I have "infinite" legal resources so you will not win an extended
legal battle. I say extended legal battle because if I do not win quickly
then my automated legal response system (ALR) will bury you. If you also
have an ALR then the "battle" is useless, we are both infinately capable.
"Would you like to play a game of chess?" :o)
Okay, now onto the more specific issues:
1) You, or your author/client, gave me written permission to use
the bibliography via e-mail.
2) Since I no longer have a copy of that written document in my
possession I am willing to remove the page if desired and
requested IN WRITING.
3) If you fail to advise me as to a course of action that would
be agreeable to you short of an actual court action then you
forgo any possibility of winning this case.
4) I did not personally profit from the utilization of your
legal bibliography on my website.
5) I can document that the bibilography has been on my website
ever since the publication of your book online and you DID
NOTHING to advise me of copyright violation since then
therefore you did not "agressively" defend your copyright
"against me" therefore I can show that I am not a "threat"
to you.
6) Since I am willing to comply with your desired course of
non-legal action then any further communication by you to
me that does not specifically express this action will be
documentation of harassment.
So, in conclusion, I would like to say that any legal action against me
will simply a fun exercise for me and a large expense to you.

My personal goal in life is to exist in harmony with those around me.
Do you want harmony or do you want a battle (I can provide either)?
Your move...
