This sounds too nice to be true. If this is the case, then how can RIAA and friends sue everyone and their grandmother (literally) for distributing copyrighted material in a private setting (at least as private as a public mailing list) without charging money for it? Not that I think that it shouldn't be legal, but it doesn't seem to be consistent with what you are saying. -- Lars Luthman - please encrypt any email sent to me if possible PGP key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x04C77E2E Fingerprint: FCA7 C790 19B9 322D EB7A E1B3 4371 4650 04C7 7E2E
