You hold a copyright on your posts, so you can force them to be taken off the Net with a DMCA notification. The notification, which can be sent by e-mail, must contain: * Your name and address, and digital signature information * The location of the infringing materials (where are they on the Internet--a FreeBSD archive server, in your case) * Identification of the copyrighted works (the specific posts you want removed) * A statement saying that you believe in good faith that the materials infringe your copyrights. * A statement saying that you believe your notice to be accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are authorized to act against this infringement (as an agent of the owner, although you're both one and the same in this case). * A statement saying that you accept U.S. jurisdiction. You can find model notifications on the Web. The targeted providers must remove the infringing material until and unless they can show that it is not infringing. After a certain period, you must sue them to obtain redress if they don't voluntarily remove the infringing materials. If they don't cooperate, you can notify their upstream provider, which must act or assume liability itself for any infringements ("safe harbor" provisions). I'm not a lawyer, and this is not intended as legal advice. -- Anthony
