-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi-- we here at HKS.net have today received a cease and desist letter from the washington post regarding editorial copy of theirs that was evidently posted to c'punks and then abosrbed into our c'punk archives. Once the archives are restored (RSN) we'll probably manually edit out the messages from the archive. We're trying to get the post to give us URLs for their copies of the content in question so that we can point to their archives, but their legal dept wasn't sure whether or not their archives were on the web. The posts in question date back some time (archive volume 1); I'm not too concerned about a recurrance (though it would make an interesting attack), but thought it was interesting enough to warrent mention, since it seems likely that the washington post was grepping the net looking for themselves. I wonder if robot exclusion on our site would have prevented this? Although the legal staffer who sent the letter did come up with a URL for the offending messages, she seemed unaware of the concepts of "mailing list" and (semi-automated) archives according to the person here who spoke to her. - --andrew k bressen bressen@hks.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.3, an Emacs/PGP interface iQCVAwUBMW17+1u2h42ZEVfZAQFslQP/avVguGOK/hRz/1SmZtZpld79edoDyJnf yeBkX7WdrfVt1/xSkOdD4xtVHf1FENfeFr50xnt2PPVb8g0E0DQqMv6Cz4ZNy5Su bXzsmvK/zCvLKPn7gueeRjk3jQKohGRf7R9Y6rr6N6jNbCS4zZQQ/nwN7sWdhZA2 epRRPjbH52A= =8d5T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
