Well, standing around and theorizing about how to take it down won't help. The host is legally responsible for the site once notified, so it's time to make sure that they know that and that refusal/neglect to remove the site will result in problems for them. After we send some letters, I will be more than happy to use some more revolutionary tactics to get the point across. I just sent another reminder email:
Just wanted to see why I hadn't gotten a reply to my previous letters regarding redwatch.*.uk and redwatch.net
Please Respond,

Redwatch is an illegal site where I am viewing it (The United States), where the domain is registered to (The United Kingdom), and where you are located (The United States). It posts personal information of people who share similar political views about communism. The information is posted with the intention of causing physical harm to these individuals. The site owners are well aware of this. In fact, harm has been caused to various individuals including this most recent case where somebody was stabbed due to their information getting posted on redwatch:

In addition, redwatch is violating the intellectual property rights of several companies and individuals in many pages including this one:
