Greenberg) Organization: "UNIX TODAY!" Lines: 18 Please be aware that, when trying to win a war in the press, violating their copyright might not be the best means of winning said war. If they asked for a written request, I'm sure they would have granted the copyright rather quickly -- it is in their best interests to have their name associated with any piece, regardless of the audience before whom it appears. There was nothing in that article that was so seriously out of wack (from my understanding) that a few days wait would have hurt anything. When trying to speak about the ethics on the net, to get people who are not on the net to understand what the net is, perhaps breaking the law is not the best way to get started? Ross M.
