The original comment about copyright infringement by net users is quite
correct.  Particularly where music is concerned, there is no need to show
financial damages to prove copyright infringement, just that unauthorized
copying took place.  Considerable fines have been imposed in cases where
all parties agreed that financial gain by the infringer was not an issue.
See C. N. Mooers' article in the March 1975 Computing Surveys.

So please, let's clean up our act.  Further discussion in net.legal,
please.
