Subj: Mr. Valueless Spec and friends.... (Posted at request of Author) By: cathouse_65 XI. COMMON MYTHS IN CYBERSPACE The foregoing discussion is intended to provide some guidance in debunking the following statements which appear all too frequently across the digital landscape. "There is no notice on the work; ergo it is not copyrighted." "I found it on the World-Wide Web; therefore it is public domain." "My Bulletin Board Service is just a conduit, like the telephone company, we're not responsible for what users upload and download." "I checked with the Copyright Office, and that work is not registered, so I can use it." "Not to worry; we have a separate little offshore corporation with a computer in the basement handling the copyrighted stuff." "I represent an internet access provider, just an on-ramp to the infobahn. They can't be responsible for watching all the thousands of messages that flow through their system." "The work was posted on the net by the author; surely that releases it into public domain." "My web site has no infringing material. We just have links to other sites where anarchy is the rule." "We can't monitor list-serv postings; it's an unwarranted invasion of privacy." ** AND last, but not least: * Trademark owner Gateway 2000 Computers Targeted site(s) Gateway 2000 Sucks A disgruntled former employee, Jeff Blackmon, had a popular page, till the lawyers for Gateway, the leading direct marketer of personal computers in the United States, found out about it. They said "Mr. Blackmon is and will always be free to express his honestly held opinions about Gateway and its products," by which they meant, of course, that the page must be removed. It's an increasingly familiar story of trademark law being used to shut down a site that hurt the feelings of a large corporation. I'll repeat: "It's an increasingly familiar story of trademark law being used to shut down a site that hurt the feelings of a large corporation." THIS IS A BIG HINT, Mike. Pls Try To Comprehend My VERY Helpful Advice To You. P.S. You you may also want to splurge for this: glover.com PLEASE SIR (NOT!), we have all had about enough of your BS. Find a real life for yourself, as this is probably WELL over your "head"? to understand!!!! Leave the digital landscape business and go back to selling manure - it suits you much better.

Effectively the price is now under $4, that is, for those companies ready to convert their preferred shares in March. The average for February is now at $4.67 and so they can convert at 85% of that. Unless we have a great day today, it will go down again. At $4/share they can convert to 280k shares. Hopefully, Frank's strategy would be to make it attractive to hold onto those shares from here on out. This may work out VERY nicely too with the NASDAQ coming and 'six figure' sales coming. I think he'll make the shareholders meeting a smashing success, too. Things are busting out all over. VS: geocities.com WH
