[NTLUG:Discuss] Fear and Loathing in Redmond...

[WILLIAM PEARSON]

Hello,

I wonder if putting a similar page upon entering a website if it were to be
housed on a service such as Geocities (which performed an act similar to
Microshafts a while back) would actually supersede the users copyright
attempt. Yahoo! also bought Geocities, so Yahoo! may have that kind of
copyright system set up on their email the way M$ does now. Also, I'm
certain that their TOS would kill the account of any user who tried to do
anything as such. AOL's does, and they do, frequently.

Will
