Thanks. Gord sent some very useful stuff off list and I'm in the process of
moving my domain. I'll check into that Times article, though.

Nobody seems to have answered this... in case it's some use, I mention:

Keith, I recently read a description ot that kind of piracy and, as I
recall, some preventatives... but for better or worse not in those realms
myself, didn't retain the info. I think however, it was in the NY Times,
probably in the businss section -- and it's possible that a google search
with the relevant terms could access it. Or the NY Times itself has
various indexes, possibly even on their website.

And it's not so "arcane" necessarily.... becoming a widespread problem...
good luck...
