I'm am glad you mentioned Witteles' podcast...indeed, you have already won concessions from Witteles as he has posted in his forums that only excerpts from 2+2 will be tolerated going forward plus discussed it on his podcast...thus his forum readers are aware of the copyright policy. And the few posts since the podcast show an attempt to comply (i am not sure if you are aware of that).
Here's a thread Witteles started today.

Do you think that reposting the pictures on his site is consistent with what he promised to do? And do you think that the use of the term "fluffer," is appropriate?

re: the threads in your OP you found objectionable, yes i agree those clearly are contrary to the copyright policy and should be taken down. Yet, i believe you will have a tough time proving to a judge that Witteles is aware of those two threads, and all other posts he made in violation of the policy...you position will be stronger if you notify him.
Our attorney will be the one to make the call here. We have a lot of confidence in his advice and he's been working with us for a long time.

Lastly, let's go back to one of your closing sentences in your original post. "He was lifting full posts from Two Plus Two for the purposes of starting separate discussion threads on his own website. "...Two pieces to that sentence: "was", that is this is no longer going on; "starting a separate discussion" - i don't see anything illegal about such a motivation
First, there's nothing wrong with him (or anyone) starting a seperate discussion. And if he wants to use material from
www.twoplustwo.com to do this, then he should just link back to it. We have no objection.
Second, concerning the word "was." Based on his statement on his website, and what my attorney told me Witteles told him on the phone, I, like you, thought this wouldn't happen anymore. But again, I'll just reference the link posted above. What do you think?
Best wishes,
Mason
PS: You don't need to call me Mr. Malmuth. On these forums and if we ever meet in person, my first name is fine.
