Zot, Not to change the subject, but I would like to redirect a thread into the area of liability issues. I'm at a loss to understand how the software industry, esp one to the north of you, has been able to not be held accountable for the garbage that they sell. As you know, I face extreme liability issues each and every day that I go to work. I'm held accountable even when I don't make a mistake. Such is life in a litigious society run by the torlawyers.

They will be as liable as are ISPs. Now if it is a individual putting up the link, you lack deep pockets, but I would not be surprised to see "expected behavior" to include things like bandwidth limits, port blocking, logging, etc. ISPs have been ducking the liability issues for a while, but it is hard in America..... -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com
