Thanks.  Unfortunately, the ISP chosen by Ruslan Mirsky to host his
plagiarism is a notorious company called Intercage, which is currently
blacklisted for chronic violations of net rules and regulations. They
are known to host numerous spamming and phishing concerns. When I
contacted them with an official DMCA complaint, they basically flipped
me the finger.

Thanks again.  Unfortunately when I carefully prepared a written DMCA
complaint, per the guidelines outlined on Google's site, and faxed it
to them, per their instructions, they just ignored it.

The plagiarized site at   mathlectures.net   is still running, and in
fact they are now sending out advertisements and starting to build up
reciprocal links.  The plagiarist and fraud who calls himself "Ruslan
Mirsky" and claims to be the author of all my articles apparently
wants to make a name for himself in the worst way.

I guess the short answer to the Subject question is:  No.
