Hi guys,

>I just phoned Tripod and spoke with someone named Neil who told me the
proper email address to send complaints of copyright infringement to is
copyright@tripod.com. He also said to include your URL as well as the URL
of the individual who copied its contents. He says that they will get to
your email within a week and that they will notify the member and give him
the opportunity to kill the files in question. If he does not do so, they
will terminate his account. It is important that you NOT encourage others
to complain as well as this will only slow down their response time! :)

            Thanks tons for the help Matt! I wonder if he really means it
when he says that it'll only slow them down, or if he's just bluffing to
keep us off their backs. Oh well, since there is a possibility that our
complaints could backfire on us and since the guys at Tripod have promised
to erase the page in a few days if the creep Daniel doesn't do so, I guess
there's no use mailing them anymore. We'll just have to be patient now and
see what happens. And when this page does disappear from the web, there
won't be any reason left to mail Cade and EscolaNet either, since there
won't be any page to link to on the other side (hopefully!). Anyways, thanks
to all who helped out and supported us throughout this extremely unpleasant
occurrence!!!!!!!!!

Best Wishes,

Fernando Rivadavia
Sao Paulo, Brazil
