The problem that I think the Scientology postings raise is that the remailers cannot really be used to post copyrighted material.
The major battle the net has faced is with the church of scientology. In this battle the net is clearly in the right, and the church clearly in the wrong, regardless of what copyright law says. Retreat on this issue would be politicaly inadvisable, for it would radically weaken us in the next battle, which will doubtless concern much more vital matters than a band of con men. What do I need to do to support a remailer that posts to non binary newsgroups? (I do not have root control on a unix machine other than my employers machine, for which I am unlikely to receive approval to use in this fashion.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.
