Hey, could we have a moratorium on the Rose/DeArmond/Haugh/Whoever thing?
It's getting kind of old and until someone feeds more information in it's
not helping anyone. How about a new topic for a while... like what do you
do if some group of people are acting in such a way as to weaken the legal
standing of the net by posting large quantities of copyrighted material to
a newsgroup and refusing to back down?

Yes, freedom of speech and all that. But how do we go about dealing with
flagrantly illegal behavior before it draws the feds into things?
