I'm almost certain we'd do so. But we'd do it in such a way as to make the person who asked it sorry they'd ever bothered. This would begin with putting equally-offensive information that is NOT copyrighted in place of the alleged copyright violation. Even so, we'll probably be unable to act quickly enough to prevent sites more popular than ours (*cough*slashdot*cough*) from distributing the content very widely if they so choose. When the topic comes up, all this will be gleefully pointed out to our putative claimant. -- Mark Rafn [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.dagon.net/>
