The portions you published were source code fragments that give our competitors insight into how our filtering engine works, thus devaluing our product. Your willful reverse engineering and subsequent publishing of copyrighted software code is a clear violation of US Copyright law. While we would easily prevail in a civil court in seeking damages, we have elected to discard this as a course of action. Rather, we will seek felony criminal prosecution under [17 USCS sect 503(a)] of the Copyright Act, and are preparing documentation to submit with the criminal complaint to FBI. Thought I would let you know that your irresponsibility will not be tolerated.
