Re: A question about the new ISP ruling and email...

Hi,

I was pondering the draconian implications of the requirement to register ISP's. Would an email only site be an ISP under these regulations?

I dunno. But I've begun netcopping the Ignition-Point list on an ongoing basis (starting Friday), and they'll be an interesting test case of whether what they're doing is "fair use". Pobox.com/listbox.com is reluctantly assigning a person to receive (my) copyright complaints, and will register themselves with the FCO. I like to post whole articles myself. Anyway, for a test case, better them than me. ---guy ;-)
