Just out of interest, I note that the user in question is claiming that his 
copyright has been violated.

So at what point does attempting to assert your copyright become "making a 
legal threat"?

Should a copyright holder whisper very gently "you're violating my 
copyright, but that's OK, we wouldn't want the lawyers involved"?

Having dropped this question into the thread, I am now going to attempt to 
find out WTF this brouhaha is all about...
