Bob, I think this is like swatting flies. You can kill a few, but there are more, and more new ones.

So far I've just been writing an email to the Contact/Abuse links on the offending host sites. My message provides the appropriate statement of ownership and, most important, the URL of the file(s) I want deleted and the URL(s) and user-ids of the subscribers who uploaded it. So far, I've had action within just a few hours. One site was not responsive until I had sent a reply to their form response. I asked for their address to mail a letter, or else a statement why they would not provide that info.

I found the illegal postings, by the way, from Google Alerts. I set a whole bunch of Google Alerts for the name of my publishing company and the name of the CD, as well as my name, and each week, I get new lists of places to check. More flies to swat.
