- The latest issue of CompuServe magazine has an article about Playboy suing
- some bloke in Portland, OR over copyrighted GIFs. You all might want to
- get your hands on it, since it has some information relevant to cases like
- this. The defense's case, as I understand it, is submitting that a public
- BBS should be treated like one treats the US Mail--that the exchange of
- files by individuals on the board cannot result in operator liability,
- just as the US mail is not responsible for people who mail smack or kiddie
- doggie porno or bombs to each other.
