Many years ago we hosted the original CDDB database (identifies music CDs), and I got at least one complaint from somebody whose name appeared in a song title saying to remove it or else. I have had people ask to remove things from the Mailman archives of lists we host, who backed off when I asked for my normal hourly rate to (a) figure out how pipermail works, and (b) deal with removing their messages. I added that there are hundreds of people receiving these messages around the world who may have them archived as well, not to mention google. I never heard from them again.
