Many years ago we hosted the original CDDB database (identifies
music CDs), and I got at least one complaint from somebody whose
name appeared in a song title saying to remove it or else.

I have had people ask to remove things from the Mailman archives
of lists we host, who backed off when I asked for my normal
hourly rate to (a) figure out how pipermail works, and (b) deal
with removing their messages.  I added that there are hundreds of
people receiving these messages around the world who may have
them archived as well, not to mention google.  I never heard from
them again.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science
requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.
