From: David Kramer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Umlauts & HTML
Good evening everbody,
Whenever I retrieve a German language web document in raw HTML code from
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the German umlauts are not shown correctly. For
example, the "o" with 2 dots (ASCII 148), which is rendered in the HTML
code as "ö", appears as " $B CB". This means that the files are
virtually unreadable when I load them into my browser. Is there a prog
which can convert these weird hieroglyphics (sp?) to the correct HTML code
or another email server which sends German documents with the correct
code?
I hope someone can help me with this, as there's some important (German)
stuff that I need to get hold of.
TIA
David

Yes if you have one of the web-based E-mail accounts.
For Example:
Net@ddress - web-based email and forwarding (service of USA.NET)
http://netaddress.usa.net/
POP3: pop.netaddress.com (Eudora, Pegasus, etc.)
SMTP: your ISPs SMTP server address
Hempseed.com- web-based email and forwarding (For Pot smokers!)
http://hempseed.com/
POP3: mustafa.hempseed.com
SMTP: smtp.hempseed.com
I don't doubt there are others but I haven't keep a list of them...

Only two methods that I know of:
1) If you have a Unix account you set up a cron job to schedule tasks
to be done at a certain time and date.
2) If you use one of the greeting card web sites that send out messages
on a timed basis.
Neither of these methods are E-mail only methods except possibly the
first. I don't know of any E-mail server currrently that does what you
want.
Next time, could you possibly change the Subject to something more
descriptive than "hello"?

Subject: MP3 search engine: copyright issues revisited
Software used by Lycos is targeted in music piracy case
by Alice Rawsthorn
Scripps Howard News Service
(in The Patriot Ledger, Quincy, Massachusetts, March 29, 1999)
LONDON -- The music industry is taking legal action against the Norwegian
software company that developed the technology used by Lycos, one of the
largest U.S. search engine operators, to find music on the Internet.
As part of its battle against Internet piracy, the International
Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which represents the world's
record companies, has initiated criminal proceedings in Norway for
copyright infringement against the software company FAST.
Downloading music on so-called MP3 files, compressed sound files on which
music is stored on the Internet, has recently become a popular Internet
activities [sic], particularly among teenagers.
Lycos launched the search engine MP3 Search in February to enable
consumers to locate more than 500,000 MP3 sound files.
Virtually none of these files were posted on the Internet with the
copyright holders' consent, says Jay Berman, chairman of the
international federation. Berman said his group and the Recording
Industry Association of America may also take legal action against Lycos
and FAST in the United States.
"These unauthorized files include material from virtually every artist
you can think of, from the Beatles to Madonna," Berman said. "We can't
tolerate a situation where a search engine as sophisticated as this helps
people to access hundreds of thousands of pirated files."
The dispute over MP3 Search highlights a potentially explosive conflict
of interest for the diversified media and entertainment groups that
dominate the $38 billion global music market.
USA Networks, a cable company, is seeking to acquire Lycos. USA is 46
percent owned by Seagram, which also controls Universal Music, the
world's biggest music group.
Rising Internet piracy is regarded as the single most important problem
facing the international music industry. If USA Networks succeeds in its
attempt to control Lycos, Seagram could find itself in the embarrassing
situation of being part-owner of a company that poses a serious
commercial threat to its expensively expanded music subsidiary. Seagram
declined to comment on the issue.
Internal conflicts of interest could arise for other media groups,
notably Time Warner and Sony, as they accelerate their diversification
into Internet-related activities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT: This is a prime example of commercial, free-market thought.
Various people are publishing commercial recordings by posting them on
the Web, when in fact the right of publication belongs to someone else.
So whom do you blame for the copyright violations? Not the persons who
posted them. Not the people who run the search engine that would enable
you (or the copyright owner) to discover the illegal files. You blame
the inventor of technology that enables the search engine to find files
according to their .mp3 extension. Protect your own technologies, and
suppress someone else's.
