Moat, You nailed it 100%! You deserve to be complimented for speaking up promptly. For we have far too many in this fine country that believe "Anything they can get by with is OK as long as they don't get caught"! Next we'll have "one of these" whipping out bootleg CDMA ASIC devices in their garages!!! It a sad state of affairs that some totally disregard copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights which are the lifeblood of our nation! Everyone who pays $300 - $700/yr for George's letter must be very sore! Most newsletters monitor these type of sleazy activities and tekboy ought to cash in, sell everything and run as fast as his "over-educated" legs will carry him to a foreign nation that looks the other way on "stealing intellectual property" - maybe N. Korea! Regards, MAC

For all: I have sent an e-mail to the Gilder Group with a link to Message 11952664. I asked that appropriate action be taken to locate and sanction the person who posted the report.

One of our regular threadsters posted in full the most recent issue of a valuable and proprietary newsletter. As a subscriber to the newsletter, I understand the concerns of those who pay for the service. However, I suspect this was an act of good intentions, perhaps without a full appreciation of the ramifications. Heck, who here is an expert on copyright laws? Who reads all the fine print? Haven't we all xeroxed stuff out of journals and books, without much thinking about proprietary rights? Is anyone not guilty of this? Our schools and colleges couldn't much operate without government looking the other way on this example. Yes, I think we're all accountable for our actions. Sometimes, people deserve the benefit of the doubt. Apollo
