This sort of thing comes up on slashdot.org every now and then, a quick search
yeilds:
	http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/03/02/2351251&mode=thread&tid=95

If you want some practical help/advice, contact the Electronic Fontier Foundation:
	http://www.eff.org/
They have addresses many such violations and have a tame lawyer that writes
letters that seems to get the right results.

If you want a bit of support, you could contact slashdot.org, the result would
probably be a large amount of electronic vitriol being directed at the perpretators.

Good luck.
