Your local police do not go around arresting copyright violators.  The
only way to enforce a copyright is for the copyright owner to sue the
alleged violator in civil court.  I strongly suspect that neither
USENIX nor The UUCP Mapping Project have either the resources (read:
money) or the willpower to do this.  Does *anyone*?
