   Tim Maroney, in an article posted for him by Byron Howes (unc!bch)
criticizes the posting of the lyrics to the song "eat it".  Now, I have
no problem with Tim's article on the merits of his argument as they relate
to the copyright laws.  BUT, the following is part of his article:

> Otherwise, there would be no way for the artist to make money,

   I have a hard time imagining an "artist" with a name such as
Weird Al Yankavich, and a piece of "art" called Eat It!! :-) :-)

Be careful out there.
