Steve,
	4 years ago, I wrote some fiction and kept it on-line on an MVT
system in Ottawa. Somebody decided to print off some copies and distribute
it. I sued them. They settled out of court, since they believed
that I would have won hands down. I don't know whenter the fact that they had
made lpr copies made them more likely to be responsible, or whether
it is very different in the US than in Canada, but I can tell you this --
If anybody decides to distribute any of my fiction without paying me
I will sue them in an instant. 

What do you think that electronic magazines are all about?
