No offense intended here but this smacks of a pathetic cop out. When supplied with various logs, supplements, and statements it doesn't take much effort or thought to start doing some checking of your own logs. The fact that you won't even go so far as to do that tells me that UU.net is too ?busy? doing other things than to follow up on their own problem users. No-one said you had to do anything more than at least send the user a notice informing them that their activities were illegal and could result in termination of their account and/or legal procedings. More often than not, this won't stop the warezpup from trying to be even more secretive but you've made your point, you've documented the fact, and you've helped another ISP in lowering their resultant problems. Later on, if you find the same user continuing along their less-than-legal path, you have documentation to back you up when you cancel them.
