First, FYI the "Blacklist of Internet Advertisers" can be viewed at
http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~cbrown/BL (that's the US mirror).

Second, this is the type of solution I think would work out well. A list of
books that seriously infringe on copyrights, or are inaccurate, would be nice
to have. I'd offer to coordinate, but I'm off for Europe in June, so I don't
think I could start immediately. I'd be happy to mirror what other people
set up, however, and (if no-one sets this up before I get back) I'll start
something when I get back.

I have a good reference to some apparently net.savvy lawyers (no, no, not C&S ;)
- you can reach the Oppedahl's at oppedahl@patents.com. (And no, I'm not
affiliated with them in any way, at least not yet - I'm considering using them
for an informed discussion on the license under which I'd like to release a
program). They seem pretty knowledgeable about the Internet and USENET, and
I was given their reference by word-of-mouth over the net, which is at least
promising...

Cheers,
