What I'm suggesting is that you obey U.S. laws. Whether you are a
victim or not is not clear: one funny email sent to you hardly seems
like harassment in any legal sense. It's not like you were
threatened. It sounded more like the thank you note some high school
students in the Bay Area supposedly sent to Fred Phelps - the nut who
now pickets military funerals - for picketing their play. It made the
news and the free publicity resulted in them selling out performances!

Why? If they won't trust you to paraphrase what someone sent you, why
should they not think you made up the whole thing? It's not like there
was a digital signature on it. Also, if you wanted to send the whole
thing, you could have asked the copyright owner for permission.
Also, the person who sent you that thing was not insane. He was simply
a college student (I presume) acting like a wise guy.

ROTFLMAO. *You* get caught violating U.S. copyright laws and instead
of cleaning up your act, you try to attack the messenger. Both of them.
