To paraphrase your last message. "The BW civil suit was set up as an educational tool to stop the fake and fraudulent press releases to the wire services and the public!" Why has BW evidently never sued any genuinely fraudulent company that distributed genuinely fraudulent press releases on its wire? You know, companies that actually took money from people? I have no quarrel with BW's wish--as stated in its own contract, and in a number of disclaimers--to indemnify itself against responsibility for the content of the material it distributes. But it can't have things both ways.
