Most excellent! I'm glad you could get this worked out, it'll be interesting to see what's happened on her site by Monday. I would be amused if she chooses to contest the action; it would be virtual suicide for her, there's no way she could win. :x... so please remove these
images within three business days, Monday January 10, 2005 and confirm
you have done so by replying to this e-mail. If the images have not
been removed from your site directory at that time, we will have no
choice but to close your account.

I am glad to announce that it the pages on her site are gone. Sapphire points to a page that has been removed, though Sleepy has not.
Congratulations, Bamfette! I'm glad that you could get this resolved.

don't forget she'd done this once before. she's either deleted, or most likely re named the files, but last time, she just put it back up a little while later, so it has to be watched. especially since she's left the link to the page. but now she has a history with her host, so the next time, i somehow doubt they'd give a warning, just *poof* deleted/locked if i were to report it again
but, if sleepy's still there, her whole site is toast come tomorrow anyway, becuase she clearly did not read the infringement notice closely enough to see that that one's removal was required as well, so it probably doesn't matter a whole lot.

Absolutely, and I can leave a program running that'll do that. If she just renamed the files, however, she still has infringing content that Lycos at the least can see and the renamed pages will (or should be) destroyed.Originally posted by Bamfette

Indeed; if she continues to put up the page, it's up to Lycos what to do; just send another infringement notice and if you want I can modify the template I gave you to ask for a harsher consequence since it's happened before.Originally posted by Bamfette

Her whole site is not necessarily toast unless that's Lycos policy. The infringement notification asked for destruction of those two specific pages and for links to them to be rendered useless, not her entire site.

Lycos did say in their letter to Michelle that if she did not remove the images by today, her ENTIRE site was going to be deleted. so it would appear that is their policy.... and she has now removed 'Sleepy', but not the link. hmmm...

This might help
This site may be able to help you Bamfette. I don't know much about the legal side of things.:
