If anyone is still interested, I have retracted this request in the news
group in which it was originally posted. I was unaware that copying a broadcast
movie was in violation of any copyright laws. I stand corrected. Please
understand that I do NOT condone the copying of ANY copyrighted material
of  any kind at any time. In addition, please understand that as my signature
states, I speak ONLY for my self and not the policies or practices of Apple
Computer. Todd's accusations against Apple are uncalled for and quite in error.
I will admit to being not perfect (but now a bit more perfect :-)   ).

I appologize for any misunderstanding this original request may have caused.

If anyone sees another copy of this posting made by Todd South I would
appreciate knowing so that I may follow up and retract my error there as well.
Seems Todd wasn't sure enough of himself to face me directly with my error
and has plastered his accusation all over the net. His efforts are not
appreciated.
