But I could be wrong.
anti-RIAA lawsuit petition

And just so this isn't pure politicking on my part, here is a presentation from one of the guys who convinced me (more or less) on the topic, Lawrence Lessig. The text version is http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2002/08/15/lessig.html
but I highly recommend seeing the flash version instead

Oh yeah, and since we're on the topic, the RIAA's propaganda scheme http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,59723,00.html headquartered at
http://www.ja.org/about/about.shtml
makes me laugh bitterly as well.

My apologies if all of this is old hat to any of you.

Also, is there any particular reason why I am suddenly unable to use url inserts on Mozilla (1.21) or Explorer (5.0) for mac os 9? I know I used to be able to, now they are invisible. Damned rental computers...

McCarthy is neither, so what's the prob? Or does Godwin's Law need to be amended?

Unless you have a real problem with Clinton's labour secretary or one of the other non-Nazi reichs.
