- Copyright 1993 Clary and Kraft
-
- The BBS world has been hit by recent police seizures of major
- systems.
-
- Sysops have many legal questions about adult GIF's, copyright,
- employer-employee relations, electronic privacy and other topics.
-
- This program through--
-
- full text of statutes with annotations,
-
- tutorials (nuts and bolts explanations of the law),
-
- menu driven legal forms generation,
-
- and BBS screens, provides answers to the questions that real life
- sysops, message networks and software developers of BBS products
- have.
-
- This archive contains the "basic" program. Each month additional
- legal forms, tutorials and text are created. Depending on the
- registration level desired (from $ 35 to $ 129) these updates are
- either mailed or posted in encrypted form on support BBS systems.
- All updates also contain answers to our users questions. The
- areas of updates and upgrades are primarily chosen from user
- requests. The complete program manual contains the all of the
- details about registration.
