Tracking number 612381 for me.  Apart from mentioning two examples of
posts lifted from copyrighted material, I tried to make the case that
the site is damaging to the reputation of the Sage community, as it
wrongly suggests that we engage in (or condone) this type of activity.

Interestingly enough, one of the options given in the complaint form
is "cybersquatting", which is the term I would most clearly associate
with this (they found the door open, moved in, changed the locks, kept
some of our furniture but painted the walls a horrible color).
Unfortunately, it seems that the legal definition of "cybersquatting"
involves offering to sell back the domain to the original owner for a
considerable amount, which as far as I know has not happened (yet?).
