It seems to me Chris, that you didn't think this through too well. All of this talk about Livecast, will be archived in with the former Livecast emails, thus making the whole issue of Livecast showing up on search engines under FreeBSD that much greater. Furthermore I don't recall Livecast being declared famous. I highly suggest that you make a retraction and pray to Chuck (or the FreeBSD approved daemon of your choice) for forgiveness as these things have a way of getting out of hand. Ya know? Robert Shea (send lawyers, I'll invite them over for tacos) FYI: from my personal experience I always do a search on stuff before I buy... comments like "I got *blank* to work on *blank OS*" is always a good thing Oh... and one more thing... just as a tip for your website... if you are concerned about search engines... you might want to read up on proper use of html head tags, dublin core, rdf, etc as your page could use 'em. % %TO: WEBMASTER OR PERSON WHO CONTROLS YOUR WEBSITE % %It has come to our attention that you are using the term "Livecast" on the %page referenced below, and possibly other pages. % %http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2000/freebsd-multimedia/200001 %23.freebs %d-multimedia.html % %Livecast is a registered trademark that is owned by Livecast, Inc.
