This list is to help us develop software and techniques to respond  
various forms of vandalism and mistakes; it is not about deciding on  
incidents of copyright violation, although copyright violation may  
lead to data being removed using moderation software.

As your problem is one of a potentially major illegal import then it  
is something you should report to the Data Working Group.

Good luck and do keep us informed with how you get on.
