As I've said, send a DMCA to the owner of the archive (and to other parties if they have copies). If they don't take down the infringing material, you can sue. If their ISPs don't cooperate, you can sue them as well.
There should be a law protecting users against this.
There is: copyright law. But most technical geeks don't know much about it, so they try to pretend that it doesn't exist.
So, if I *respond* to one of his posts (including his email address and at least a portion of what he wrote) and therefore have *some* of his "copyrighted" material in my post then he can request that *my* post be removed *without* my permission? Or he can sue *me* for having included that "copyrighted" material in my post.
Do you now see anything wrong with this?
Before you start spouting legal advice on a public list, I would suggest that you point to chapter and verse that *specifically* addresses posts made to a public forum that *explicitly* states that such posts will be archived and *explicitly* states that you have the right to request their removal *and* the right to sue if the archiving party refuses to remove them. Furthermore, you must first prove that post made to a public forum are protected by copyright laws.
Otherwise you're blowing black clouds of smoke.
