Dunce's pathetic, delusional weblog is published in the USA by
blogspot.com. It contains poems by Wallace Stevens. Dunce (rather surprisingly) attributes the poems to their author.
But in the USA, Wallace Stevens's poems are still copyright, and will
remain so until 2025 (70 years after the author's death).
'Nuff said, I think.
Dear Dunce, either take your thiefsite down voluntarily or have it
taken down against your will.

This looks like the first instance of someone calling me a "thief" and trying to have my blog taken down. For context, the blog went live on January 1, 2010, and the first Wallace Stevens poem appeared there on Jan. 21.
