As to the other stuff... If you really think it's ok to lend your budy your CD to listen to the newest bands out there you should call your local musicians union. As to books and such, call a book publisher and ask for their legal department. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Reading this, I flashed on an alternate meaning for a second -- 'Surrounded by netscape'... netscaping, the cyberspace equivalent of landscaping... Just an odd image. Peter Trei

Re: cypherpunks archive
by Ryan Lackey 17 Dec '03

(Looks like I left at about the right time...) I'm definitely planning to bring the archive back now that it seems worthwhile, but I'm highly tempted to move it outside the US. I'm giving somone a few more days trying to fix it, and if that fails, I'll restore the drive physically. (the problem is that my agent in the US is being slow, and I'm a bit low on cash after moving hastily...) Anyone have 1gb of disk space on a machine, optionally with root access, on a machine with unmetered network access outside the US on which I could put the archive? I can put the archive here in AI, but I'll have to charge per megabyte, as my t1 is metered-use :( It would end up being something on the order of $0.50/MB for total traffic, and unfortunately there are no good payment systems for that kind of thing right now. -- Ryan Lackey rdl(a)mit.edu http://sof.mit.edu/rdl/ <-- brought down by a flakey hd controller or drive

I, too, was suprised to find myself mentioned in one of the postings John Young has highlighted. I hadn't noticed this before, since Toto's rants were among the 50%+ of cpunks postings I marked as read without actually reading them. The Poster Currently Known As Toto mentioned an awful lot of people by name, purportedly engaged in all kinds of nefarious activities. The same post also names Tim May, Adam Back, Declan McCullagh, Ulf Moller, Kent Crispen, and Blanc Weber. I'm let off easy, being characterized as only a 'terroist [sic] InterNet forger'. I think that this is because I once complained when someone (possibly Toto) forged a message in my name. To put it in the plainest possible terms: I have never in my life forged a message.
