It certainly would be useful for zuma, as it seems to be a leaf site,
but rejecting "becker" out of hand would create severe problems,
due to it being a gateway site, and would disadvantage many people.

Most of Bruce's forgeries seem to have ..becker!feline!... in the path.

On the S.... A.... problem.

Perhaps sending a copy of the offending breaches of copyright to the
publishers of the material along with instructions on how to contact
the perpetrator would do the trick. It'd be quite amusing for the
owners of zuma to be sued off the net by the very authors it's
misquoting....
