OSA's resopnse: >I cam across this at the end of somebody's post. Not just somebody, scumbag. Diane Richardson.

Paraphrasing is never actionable under Copyright Law. Only if you have a legal contract to maintain secrecy are you liable for action under Trade Secret law. So paraphrase away. There is no legal grounds to prevent you from doing so. >It is utterly malicious and >false, as well as being extremely bad advice. You are a lying sack 'o sh*t, Milne. >The materials in question are >trade secrets and there is of course no fair use of trade secrets. Buck, buck, buck. Protecting your golden eggs? (Saykrid Droppings, rather) >The most recent decision upholding the trade secret status of these >materials is of course Bridge Publications Inc. (BPI), RTC & CSI >v. Enid Vien.

Unbelievable! Finally an actual verifiable reference from OSA. One that doesn't apply ... but still, it's something. Enid was making money selling Sakrid Droppings without paying her blood money to the Stench. No one here's makin' a cent. We're all just doing our civic duty; inForming the public so that they can be smart consumers and not fresh "raw meat" or "bodies in your shop." Don't look now, but ... Your cult of lies is crumbling as ars rolls over it. Next stop: CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS and Federal Grand Jury indictments! Correct change, please. +--------------------------------------+ Rev.
