Just a comment about the first listing on this page regarding Raymond Jolin, an employee of Intellisys.net - I cringe when I see people condemning employees of an ISP for quoting the "party line"... At times, in past jobs, I've had to state that my ISP couldn't be held responsible for the content of a posting or web page. Naturally, that put me, as a person who hates abuse of the Internet, in a sticky situation. That didn't mean that I supported copyright infringement, or one of our users flaming someone else on Usenet. What it did mean was that our legal department had told my boss in no uncertain terms that we were not to get involved in the matter without passing it through legal first. I don't support copyright infringement in any way. I am not led to believe by Raymon Jolin's words that HE supports copyright infringement, just that he is powerless in his position to do anything about it. If it's still a problem, go over the person's head, but condeming them as a "weasel" ...
