But don't forget the Kinko's copy shops case. If you are a distributor and you know or should have known that what you were asked to do was illegal, you can be liable. Kinkos let a professor copy reams of textbooks on a regular basis. They ended up paying big time dollars. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Sunnyvale, CA 408/296-0366
