     There's another technique that may not take so much time, if
it works.

     Call the guy's ISP and explain the situation. Then politely
*ask* them to send an e-mail to the guy on your behalf. The ISP
will not be breaching any privacy, because they won't be giving
you his edress or name. Be sure you can back up your copyright
claim and his breach of it.

     I have no idea what the chances of it working are, but it
might be worth a phone call. The calmer you stay and the more you
explain that you're trying very hard to avoid a lawsuit, the
greater the chance of them complying.
