I think that if people haven't un-subscribed over the 30th `1/2
gigabyte ROM' (or is it `jigabyte') message, they aren't going
to balk at a little discussion of legal issues pertaining
directly to BBS's (and, actually, to just about any system with
dialins).  If they do, well, they are simply tuning out one of
the more important issues of our age.  Perhaps it would be a bit
strong to say that the way this works out could make or break
our democracy, but at least its effects will have ripples reaching
far into the freedoms of our own electronic village.
