I doubt the (IT)boys in blue can do anthing about this, they
only become involved if some other (cop) department needs
their services (I have been talking to them a while back
to find out what my legal stands are ...).
Since the IP block belongs to IPRIMUS I would suggest to do the following:
* use a lawyer
* set up a letter with the explanation of what happened
* send the letter to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and some other contact addresses
at IPRIMUS (ie legal department, etc)
* do that including what Leslie Katz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested.
