Re: archiving on inet

Kirk Sheppard asks

Finally what is the tangible difference between storing usenet postings on a hard disk for an indefinite time, or on a cd-rom, or a cd that is re-writable, or tape or any other storage device? Not very much I would argue.

I don't believe that _storage_ is the issue at all. If I purchase a copy of a book, I don't believe that I'm violating copyright by making an archival copy of it _for_ _my_ _own_ _use_. If I start distributing or selling copies to other people, however, that's a different matter. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.
