All of this reminds me -- I have never gotten any really satisfactory
answer to the obvious question:
	Why do the administrators of such on-line services permit the
	posting of copyright images and songs?  I'm fairly sure that

	copyright holders.
A related question is:
	How have these services managed to avoid prosecution for so long?
