Law. I wish to report an instance of what I feel in good faith is an 
instance of copyright infringement. The infringing material appears on the 
Service for which you are the designated agent.

You are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office as the Designated Service

the Service is the following: A photograph of Grigori Perelman.
