Dick, the fact of the matter is that it is against the law to post copyright material into a public forum without permission of the copyright holder. In the Filk forum, many of those of us who write songs have given blanket permission to redistribute any of our material (not for profit) through the echostream. However, posting copyright material WITHOUT either blanket or specific permission is a violation of Federal copyright laws. Whether you post from FIDO, Internet or the White House itself is not the question -- each and every sysop and node which carried your message with unlawfully distributed copyright material can be sued by the copyright holder for YOUR violation. Consider how long your access to alt. ANYTHING would last if your access point were fined by Federal court . . . And before you say "Nobody would care about ONE LITTLE MESSAGE," let me note that the publishers' associations refer to such open-and-shut violation cases as "ringing the cash register;" they rarely lose, and when they win they ALWAYS make a sizeable profit. Aside from the profit, the zero-tolerance policy prevents those of us in the know from taking liberties with other people's work. Since Filk is in a grey area already, it wouldn't take much to cause a lot of us a LOT of trouble for people who have gone to a lot of effort and expense to provide this forum that you have endangered. So why not just apologize and get back to the party? * KWQ/2 1.2e NR * "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 #! rnews 775 From: Keith.Wood@f29.n15.z1.fidonet.org (Keith Wood) Path: mcws!FUsenetToss Newsgroups: fidonet.filk Subject: Gate Message-ID: <768753592.AA02902@mcws.fidonet.org> Date: Mon, 09 May 1994 04:14:00 -0800 X-FTN-To: Eli Brian Goldberg ELI BRIAN GOLDBERG forgot to encrypt this communique to ALL regarding Gate EEG> (And congradulations to KEITH WOOD!

No significant events were observed this period. New Region 7721 (S12E73) was numbered this period as a BXO beta group with 2 spots. Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be very low. The geomagnetic field has been at quiet to active levels, in the middle latitudes, for the past 24 hours. High latitudes experienced quiet to active levels with minor to severe storm conditions observed at local nightitme. STD: Electrons at greater than 2 MeV continued at high to very high levels today. These high fluence levels could continue through to early next week. Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is expected to be mostly quiet to active for day one of the forecast period. Minor storm levels can be expected at high latitude stations during local nighttime. The field is expected to moderate to mostly quiet to unsettled for the remainder of the forecast period. Some isolated active periods can be expected. Event probabilities 11 may-13 may Class M 01/01/01 Class X 01/01/01 Proton 01/01/01 PCAF Green Geomagnetic activity probabilities 11 may-13 may A.

High Latitudes Active 25/25/25 Minor Storm 25/20/10 Major-Severe Storm 05/05/05 HF propagation conditions continued below-normal from the upper middle latitudes to the polar latitudes. Areas most heavily affected were paths crossing through the influential auroral zones. Conditions are expected to very slowly improve over the next 72 hours, but are not yet expected to fully return to near-normal values.

In Europe the most "sacred" DX frequencies are on 80m at 3500-3510 CW and 3790-3800 SSB. If one listens instead of transmitting only, one finds himself peaks of activity on selected frequencies. Also, pile-ups prevent any unsuspecting ham from succesful QSOs there. I remember once a local station calling CQ on 3798 in a local contest. There was a confusion over the call of the replying station (it was DM). Ignacy Misztal Ham radio: NO9E, SP8FWB E-mail: ignacy@uiuc.edu University Of Illinois 1207 W.
