Spelling, Systems Administator : For someone who works at a district court, you seem to know very little : about the law. It is *NOT* illegal for video store chains to set up a : system such as I described using high-speed tape duplicators. As long as they : make arrangements with the owners of the movies and pay them a royalty fee, : it is perfectly feasible and perfectly legal. In fact, Blockbuster is doing just that on an experimental basis in a few cities. (Not in the bay area.) -- Stephen Mann <smann@rahul.net>
