Actually, I had an idea of transferring some interesting material from
broadcasters to the net. This would require only sending from their 
terminals to some net sites. For example, short nordic news broadcast
daily in English by Radio Sweden could be downloaded to soc.culture.nordic
newsgroup. Such news could be especially valuable in case of important
events (net is less erratic than SW, BTW :-). Since broadcasters 
send their material in the air for free, it seems that there are no
legal obstacles to this idea. On contrary, they can be quite
cooperative in gaining a new audience. Is anybody interested in
pursuing this?
