Much more likely it was a busybody reading the group on their own time, then tattling to the authorities when they saw the post with Bevan's email. And I'd guess that not only Yahoo's notice but the MMY Foundation's notice were just forms with spaces to plug in specific information. Probably didn't cost much at all; could have been a clerk who did it. The interesting thing is that the email was posted back in January 2010, and it's taken them this long to get around to sending the notice. Either they have a huge backlog of these "infringements," or (my guess) they wait till they have a bunch, then dump them in somebody's lap to send out notices en masse. The whole thing is just impossibly trivial (especially considering that far more sensitive TMO material has been posted here), but unfortunately the potential consequences for FFL are not trivial, and there's no easy way to fight them.
