The standard nasty letter might work. But it's tricky unless you have the

overwhelming financial and legal muscle to bury them and kick their

gravestones over.


A Little Story.

A long time ago, in 1995, whilst at university, I made my first web page -

a long essay about Enya. Yes. Enya. It is here:

http://area51.upsu.plym.ac.uk/~arp/enya2.html

(note early Jakob Neilsen-esque design).


A few months later I discovered that an American record label who make

easy-listening CDs to sell at garages for 5.99 had used the text, almost

verbatim, as the liner notes of a popular CD. And there wasn't a single

thing I could do about it. I'm still angry today, which is why I have

trouble holding down a job - I just have to lash out sometimes.
