You, sir or madam, are thoroughly mistaken. I'll make you a deal: My email address is my UID and is at gmail. Contact me and I'll send you emails from the cops, Comcast and the university. .
Same thing happened to my daughter almost two months ago; laptop stolen from her college dorm in Memphis. I had LogMeIn set up on it to tinker with her laptop remotely, and the thief was online within hours of stealing it. Told the cops immediately. Traced the IP to Comcast, and Comcast attorney said that all she'd need is a subpoena and they'd gladly turn over the info. Since then, I've told multiple cops, taken screen shots and emailed them to cops, emailed them times and dates of logins, etc. Comcast attorney has sent the officer a brochure on what to do, and STILL nothing has been done. (She warned me against logging in to the laptop.) The two-month anniversary was yesterday, and I still can watch this laptop online every day. It's well beyond frustrating. I've considered opening a chat window and offering the thief $100 to bring the laptop to a neutral location, no questions asked.
Qtrax touted in a press release Sunday morning that it was the first Internet file-swapping service to be "fully embraced by the music industry," and boasted it would carry up to 30 million tracks from "all the major labels."
New York-based Warner Music undermined that claim, declaring in a statement that it "has not authorized the use of our content on Qtrax's recently announced service."
Universal Music Group and EMI Group PLC later confirmed they did not have licensing deals in place with Qtrax, noting discussions were still ongoing. A call to Sony BMG Music Entertainment was not immediately returned.

My Model 4P with Montezuma Micro CP/M remains my favorite computer. Wish I still had it.
RIP from 73337,3067 and many, many others -- remember Snap-Paks? -- from 1981 on. And The Source (STZ956), DJNS, Bix, MCIMail, etc., etc.
