I may be being puritanical, but isn't this the kind of thing that SCOX and M$ and others will use to "prove" that the FOSS community are thieves? I wouldn't be surprised if it's SCOX engineering the flood so they have some FUD around the time of the court hearing and/or the earnings call.

Possibly; though not even the RIAA has yet discovered what goes on in Usenet. Hey, I'm doing Ryan E Tibbetts a favour here 8-) unless he's busy today by any chance 8-) 8-) 8-)

Paul, you need to give yourself a nice treat. How about spending all afternoon watching greedy people lose lots of money, and then a fascinating evening hanging out in a Utah courtroom via IRC? Should be fun!
