If you manage a website like this, I implore you to spend an hour and think about someones first-time experience when they land on your site. - The logo goes to the homepage - the "gpl-violations.org" link goes to the homepage - the page title goes to the homepage - About describes the goal of the project and who's behind it, but not how to access the project... or if that's even a thing. - The GPL page lists the GPL…
"Does gpl-violations actually have any ability to do this ?
In the situations where violations have been found and action taken enforcement has been successful. This includes out of court settlements with several large vendors and a legal injunction against Sitecom. We strive to resolve issues amicably. When this fails we resolve them through legal actions."
"Why do you send warning letters to GPL violators without contacting them first?
When we started enforcing the GPL, we tried it by sending e-mails, faxes and letters ourselves, rather than going through lawyers. However, those letters were simply ignored in almost all cases.
Therefore, it is our experience that trying informal means of communication is not worth the effort, especially since it reduces the amount of time we have for applying to a preliminary injunction (in Germany), and therefore puts us into a worse position.
Formal warning notices sent through our lawyers always tend to draw attention at the appropriate management level, and therefore tend to be addressed with the required seriousness for a major copyright violation. "

There's a wikipedia page for the organization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpl-violations.org Among other things, it mentions that the website was offline for most of 2015, and while they recovered it, I am not sure if they have been in activity since (whatever their activity is).
