Prove it in Court First
From the Software Publisher's Association Code of Conduct for ISPs:
"It is also a violation of the copyright owners rights for an ISP to post, or to allow others to use its server(s) to post, materials, like serial numbers or cracker utilities, that make it possible for others to execute and use pirated software. Such acts, which either induce or materially contribute to copyright infringement by someone else, constitute contributory infringement, and expose ISPs to the same liability for damages, penalties and injunctive relief as a direct infringer." Here is how you violate the copyright of the book "Unix for Dummies" : 1) Get copy of book 2) Go to copy machine 3) Copy the book I hereby demand that you copraphageous cretins sue me immediately for providing this information.

/\ /\ This is supposed to have a legal basis? Duncan, it's even easier. Here ya go: 1. Buy a copy of Windows 95. 2. Install it on a machine. 3. Install it on a second machine. There, SPA: you can now go sue every ISP from which every reader of this list obtains their mail. They have just published information on how to pirate Windows '95.
Yup. Who died and left the SPA in charge? -r.w. On Sat, 12 Oct 1996, Duncan Frissell wrote:
