When those records first appeared on CD, there was a big stink about it. They tried to restrict the records. (Seems just about anyone can get a copy just by providing media and a small fee.) You know who pretty much killed that idea? Lobbying by the mass mailing companies. It is one of the biggest sources for their mailing lists. Now they just restrict it to "people with a legitimate interest". (Whatever the hell that means.) -- Alan <alan@private>
