You will note that you are reading prima facie evidence of violation of this new law. Wednesday December 17 11:58 AM EST New Law Crack Down on Internet Theft WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton signed into law on Tuesday a controversial bill imposing criminal penalties on copyright violators even if they do not profit from their actions, the White House executive clerk's office said Wednesday. The No Electronic Theft Act, passed by Congress last month, was strongly backed by the software and entertainment industries but opposed by science and academic groups. Under the law, a person who "willfully" infringes on copyrighted material worth at least $1,000 could be subject to criminal prosecution even if he does not make money. Under current law, copyright violators cannot be charged with criminal misconduct unless they profit from the violations. Software and entertainment groups, including the Business Software Alliance, the Motion Picture Association and the Association of American Publishers, said the change was essential to protect software, music recordings and other creative products easily pirated over the Internet. They cited a 1994 court case dismissing criminal copyright charges against an Massachusetts Institute of Technology student who posted on the Internet for free downloading copies of popular software programs. But last month a leading group of scientists, the Association for Computing, wrote to Clinton asking him to veto the bill because it might inadvertently criminalize many scientific publications available over the Internet, and might limit the "fair use" doctrine. The new law includes a sliding scale of penalties depending on the severity of the copyright infringement. For making one or more copies with a total retail value of at least $1,000 but less than $2,500, the violator could be imprisoned for up to one year and fined up to $100,000. For copies with a retail value of $2,500 or more, the violator could imprisoned for up to three years and fined up to $250,000. A second offense could lead to a prison term of up to six years. ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu M-16 : Don Quixote :: PGP : Louis Freeh Let freedom ring (or screech at 28.8)

Browsing Under the Influence, from the Netly News
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

********* http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1638,00.html The Netly News Network (http://netlynews.com/) December 16, 1997 Browsing Under the Influence by Tom Deerfield and Mark Dolley When Andre Khalifi and Chuck Haddad applied to open the CyberLounge in Fountain Valley, Ca., serving gourmet food with a cigar menu, Internet access and a full bar, they expected the community to enthusiastically embrace the proposal. Instead, their alcohol and Internet cocktail met with fierce opposition from local residents who saw the business as a potential threat to their safety. "How are we going to protect our women after these guys get liquored up, look at pornography and then roam the neighborhood late at night?" asked one resident at a public hearing. The Fountain Valley Police Department was worried too. Detective Sergeant Paul McGinnis -- a participant in the planning process -- was skeptical about "uncontrolled Internet access" from the get-go, according to Khalifi. McGinnis confirmed his concerns over the pornography question: "I've never actually been on the Internet, but my understanding is that you can get just about anything you want on there." [...]

Clinton signs draconian antipiracy law, from the Netly News
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

************ http://cgi.pathfinder.com/netly/opinion/0,1042,1641,00.html The Netly News Network (http://netlynews.com/) December 17, 1997 Penance for Pirates by Declan McCullagh (declan(a)well.com) When it comes to protecting his company's computer software, nobody compares with Bill Gates. Not only is the nation's richest man thumbing his nose at government antitrust lawyers, but he's also toasting his latest victory: a draconian antipiracy bill that President Clinton signed yesterday. Piloted through Congress by the deep pockets of the software, motion picture and recording industries, the law punishes unapproved "reproduction or distribution" of books, magazines, software, music or videos. The painful penalties must bring a smile to the face of software executives: fines of up to $250,000 and five years in federal prison. While you're cooling your heels in Club Fed, you'll have plenty of time to consider your misdeeds -- which in this case could have been making just three copies of Microsoft Office (cost: $360 each). If it's any consolation, you'll have plenty of company. Joining you will be anyone who "willfully" infringes copyrights worth at least $1,000 within a six-month period, with stiffer penalties if the total jumps to $2,500. Ouch. The cost of prosecuting millions of malfeasants has led critics to wonder, sensibly enough, if the FBI's time could be better spent chasing violent criminals. After all, software companies can (and do) sue copyright infringers already. "This is a dreadful piece of legislation," says David Post, a law professor at Temple University who teaches copyright law. "Congress is doing exactly what they shouldn't be doing: reacting in a panic and saying there's so much copyright infringement we need to throw people in jail." [...]

We Do All The Work And You Collect All The Cash
by net789＠goplay.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

If you're NOT currently looking for an income opportunity, then just delete this message. If you ARE looking for an income opportunity, then... WELCOME TO THE HOTTEST CASH GENERATING PROGRAM ON THE INTERNET! I'm sure that this is not the first opportunity that you have ever run across that claims that you can make a lot of cash, very quickly. But, this just might be the only program you'll ever run across, that can actually make that happen. Every other cash generating program that you've ever run across was probably doomed from the start, for 3 simple reasons. 1) You needed to dedicate a lot more time and effort into the marketing of your program, than you originally planned. 2) You needed to invest a lot more money into the marketing of your program, than you originally expected. 3) Your success depended solely on you. And, unless you're a marketing expert, your expected level of success just wasn't going to be achieved. Well, that's where our expertise comes in. We here at Internet Marketing Services, have been asked to develop an effective marketing system that would require virtually no effort and very little capital. We are proud to tell you, that our experience in this industry has enabled us to create a very low cost, high response, marketing program, that blows away traditional methods of network marketing and advertising. The secret to becoming successful in any business is to get your message to as many people as possible, in a cost effective manner. Through our creative advertising program were able to greatly reduce our costs and we are simply passing the savings on to you. IT'S REALLY AMAZING HOW EASY THIS IS AND HOW BEAUTIFULLY IT WORKS! By compounding our efforts and combining your advertising along with other income opportunity seekers wanting to participate in this highly profitable program, Internet Marketing Services is now able to offer you the best Internet marketing rates available anywhere. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. Multi-level marketing is still used by some of the largest companies in the world today; Amway, Excel and Avon, just to name a few. This highly effective, multi-level business provides you the same type of opportunity. A business that offers a proven cash generating program, complete with a low cost internet marketing service. THIS IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS! If a new customer decides to participate in your program, they simply send you a $5.00 commission. And the best part is, we do all the hard work for you, you just collect your cash. As with all multi-level businesses, your income is generated by recruiting new customers that have the same interest as you. The desire to create a large cash income. And, every state in the USA allows us to legally recruit for you, via the Internet. For an extremely low fee of only $35.00, we will market this highly profitable opportunity to 750,000 people with your name and address inserted into the mailing. Then you just go to your mailbox and collect your cash. That's all there is to it. HERE'S HOW YOUR ADVERTISING DOLLARS COMPOUND. In each mailing your name will be included with 2 other distributors. We will then advertise your opportunity to 250,000 people, in 3 seperate mailings. So your opportunity will be offered to 750,000 different people. EXAMPLE: Mailing #1: 250,000 People Mailing #2: 250,000 People Mailing #3: 250,000 People FOR A TOTAL OF: 750,000 People NOW, LET'S COMPARE COSTS. If you were to send your offer through the postal service, it would cost you $240,000.00, in postage alone. The typical e-mail company charges 1-2 dollars per 1000 addresses mailed to. That would be a minimum of $750.00. Other methods could be even more expensive than using the postal service. As you now can see, by compounding your advertising dollars with other income opportunity seekers, it allows us to offer you a cost effective way to cash in on a proven income generating program. And remember, we do all the work for you. You just go to the mailbox and collect your cash. THIS IS A LEGITIMATE MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY.

This multi-level, e-mail order, marketing program works perfectly, every time. E-mail is the ultimate sales tool of the future, and the future is now! If you ever wanted "THE EASY WAY" to make a lot of money... just follow these 3 easy steps using this sure fire system! STEP 1: Send $5.00 in "CASH", NO CHECKS PLEASE, to each of the 3 distributors below. Just like new customers will be sending to you, once your name has been placed onto the mailing. Also, include a seperate sheet of paper with your name as it is to appear on this mailing, along with the words, " I WOULD LIKE TO SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR INCOME OPPORTUNITY NETWORKING SERVICE." Once the 3 distributors receive your $5.00 payment, they will each e-mail us your name, verifying that you have paid them their commission. This service also eliminates the possibility of anyone replacing any existing names on the mailing. #1: J. Ferguson PO Box 271 Woodstock, GA 30188-0271 #2: Tobias Enterprises PO Box 1134 Broomfield, CO 80038 #3: C. Heier 815 Franklin Ave. Ellenton, FL 34222 STEP 2: Send $35.00, along with your name and address as you want it to appear on this mailing. (You can use your full name, your initials, a business name or what ever you prefer) Once we receive your payment and verification via e-mail that you paid each distributor their commission; we will automatically position your name and address through all 3 mailings until this offer has been e-mailed to 750,000 people. Be sure to include your e-mail address. Once we receive your payment, we will e-mail you our priority e-mail address. This is how you will notify us that you received your payment from customers that want to paticipate in your program. This is a fool-proof system that eliminates anyone from using your service without paying you your $5.00 commission. You can use this program as many times, and as often as you like. By doing this, it is possilbe to create a perpetual cash income. And yes, we accept personal checks. Make check payable to and send to: Internet Marketing Services 2375 E.Tropicana #135 Las Vegas, NV 89119 Please note, Internet Marketing Services does not participate in your offer, nor do we share in your income in any way.

POSSIBLE EARNINGS PER 750,000 E-MAILS 1% Response @ 7,500 X $5.00 = $37,500 1/2% Response @ 3,750 X $5.00 = $18,750 1/4% Response @ 1,875 X $5.00 = $ 9,375 1/8% Response @ 938 X $5.00 = $ 4,690 HOW MANY RESPONSES DO YOU THINK YOU WILL RECEIVE?
