Re: Injunction issued against 'cphack,' disengages porn filter(3/17/2000)

[Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law]

Was it Dr. Johnson who, when confronted by a man claiming "I can call
spirits from the vasty deeps", replied "So too sir can I, but will they
answer when you call?"

[Not quite. It's Hotspur's retort to Glendower from King Henry IV,
Part 1, Act III, Scene I. The exact phrasing was:

    GLENDOWER       I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

    HOTSPUR Why, so can I, or so can any man;
            But will they come when you do call for them?

The rhythm of the last line was really neat, which is one reason it is
burned into my memory.
