One word in response to that: Ethics
Yes, there are a few legal issues here, not just one...
Lets start this off with...Copyright:
[code]
<META content=Kenetix name=AUTHOR>
<META content="Copyright (c) 2003 by Kenetix" name=COPYRIGHT>
[/quote]
Well well, since Kris isn't related to Kenetix, that's blatant abuse per source code for the html page itself. Moving on to privacy...
I would say Appropriation or right of privacy falls into play here, citing:
Kris could be viewed as trying to cause problems, and draw more hits to his page as a result of said post - it's covered under appropriation or right of privacy as a result.
Failure to comply with request to remove is another thing I'd bring up too, It's quite evident from what I see, and there is -NO- gray area in that respect. The post is defamatory in general, and is yet another attempt at fishing attention using a pity ploy.
That above being said...
Xorith, have his ISP directly contacted with a cease and desist order in regards to the page. If they don't pull it they can, under U.S. law, lose the right to host as a result of the above cited items. - Title 17, chapter 6, section 512 has a few items listed throughout it that will assist greatly in this.
