Currently I am working my way towards law school and recently read a case regarding the inclusion of advertising and political materials in packages which may or may not concern the receiver of the package. Long story short, it was concluded that since it was easy for someone to throw the material away, as long as the material is not grotesquely offensive it may be included. If you want more info on the case I am happy to look it up.

Also, now that we've opened this whole can of worms, what if I have the mail guy at my company run my outgoing package through the postage meter? I mean, strictly it isn't advertising or commercial, but I would be using stolen postage from a corporate giant to spread etree music. Surely that is very, very wrong. What I plan on doing, just to be sure I adhere to every band's policy, is every time I do a trade or a B&P, I'm going to jab myself in the eye with a pencil. Because you can never be too careful, and that way, I figure, I'm covered. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [etree] Relix rep.???? > So if I include a note to someone doing a b&p to tell > them what I am requesting, it shouldn't come from a > notepad that has my company's name on it?
