And I'm not certain I understand you, sir. Your statement that
"registration only helps you in court" only states the obvious: court is the
ONLY place these matters come to roost. It is my understanding that
registration affords the registree certain added advantages, such as being
able to collect punitive damages. In any event, as I was trying feebly to
express, (Katherine Thayer explains it much more succinctly) money is cogent
issue. You make money and you're far more vulnerable. Napster, a profit
seeker, is going down - Gnutella isn't!
