Seems some record company(s?) found out that the copyrighted >lyrics to lots o' music were available and got annoyed. At least, that's >what I've heard. Total codswallop. It works. It's alive. No record companies ever found out about it or got annoyed (although they probably would have some justification - on the other hand, now that the US KT CDs lack lyric sheet, we are providing a very valuable service.) I will request the KT album list and have it forwarded to Love-Hounds as proof. The formal address is lyrics@umass.bitnet although you may have to route through some kind of Bitnet/Internet gateway - fortunately we have some state of the art mail handling around here and lyrics@umass.bitnet works just fine. -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
