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? -- Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
