As an, ahem, lawyer, I think what you do and how you do it matter a lot ... Pulling a plug after reasonable/lots of warnings (did you miss anyone? how do you know for sure?) is on the safer end of the legal spectrum. ----------------------------------------------------
Matters a lot? In what country's legal spectrum? Or did you assume the queries are US-based only? Or are you suggesting he treat US-based queries differently than the rest of the world? Or are you speaking from US-centric tunnel vision?
