--------- Date: Mon, 2 Dec 1996 11:15:07 -0500 To: jya@pipeline.com From: legalwfc@wsj.dowjones.com (Legal Department - Dow Jones & Co. NYC) Subject: Articles on Your Web Site Hello. I am an attorney with Dow Jones & Company, Inc. I came across your Web site recently and saw that you have incorporated articles from The Wall Street Journal, which is a publication of Dow Jones. Dow Jones is pleased that readers find information in The Wall Street Journal important enough to communicate to other Web users. The articles I've seen are, or have been, located at http://jya.com/clash0.txt; http://jya.com/xpanix.txt; http://www.jya.com/peanut.txt; and http://www.jya.com/boomer.txt. We also appreciate your encouraging others to take a look at our articles. The problem is that posting our copyrighted material at your site violates copyright laws, even if you give us credit, and even if you don't charge people to read the posted material. The same would be true if someone were to republish material that you created without your permission. You can, of course, recommend stories from The Wall Street Journal at your site by citing the headline and the date of the article and providing a brief description. And those articles can be viewed quite easily for a modest subscription fee in The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, the Web site of The Wall Street Journal (http://wsj.com). While we hope you keep reading The Wall Street Journal, you must remove our articles from any Web site you control as soon as possible. If you want to talk to me about this, you can reach me at (212) 416-3108. Many thanks. Sincerely, Hunter Farrell Counsel Dow Jones & Company, Inc. --------- We thanked Mr. Farrell for his courteous note, promised to keep WSJ articles off our site and read the paper.
