Well, we've been asking people not to quote complete texts on the list
(which not only makes for a long message, but could be construed as
copyright infringement)...

... Now we have this - a Utah judge decides that the mere posting of URLs
contributes to the piracy of the pages and therefore contributes to, and
thus is, copyright infringement.   Maybe our resident editor (Ron?) might
know a little more about this?

So, I guess I'll have to do this, hope for the best, so you can see the
article for yourself.  Hopefully this won't land me in jail :)

(the above posting of a URL is exactly what the story talks about.)

Regards,
Joe
