"copyright" is an interesting reason for removal, because there may well be an exemption for parody. i believe this is established in US copyright law, but i'm not so sure about the UK, however.

I am still waiting for a reply to my secure message, sent a week ago, which was itself the THIRD attempt to get them to deal adequately with their error.
