Maybe the law is silly. Hang on a second here... Nobody is violating the law simply by installing and running Napster. You clearly violate the law if/when you download copyrighted material that you didn't pay for. Also, there is a legal argument about whether the *company* "Napster" is violating the law by providing the directory service on which Napster clients depend. So IMHO there is no legal issue for the FreeBSD port. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
