Q. Give an example of a 'copyright criminal'.
A. An organisation that spends six years selling (at six hundred dollars per hour), and suing and harassing people over, something it doesn't own and never did.




I'll write this index page in more detail one day. Here are some documents that will help tell the story.


There are a number of other letters which I haven't put up above, but hope to at least summarise some time.

Cancelbunnies on the loose!

The NOTs postings got cancelbunnied, of course. And most of the open/semi-open servers in question haven't responded to any mail on the subject. (Though here's a letter to me from one server, bohm.anu.edu.au, where they explain that they can't possibly track down someone abusing their network ... one wonders how they'd ever trace a spammer.)

Here's a pile of cancels. Note the approach of cancelling around the world simultaneously, in an attempt to utterly kill the post in question.
