Your views on on intrest content are quite irrelevent Mr Bunkum because
copyright is not related to scanning film into a PC.

A head in the sand approach is not untypical for an American, all you have
to do is listen to George Wobbly Bush on global warming.

The word Turkey should hold a certain significence to those of a North
American persuasion, and this might just be the moment to restate that
classification.

Actually, and entirely off-topic, I might just suggest that the moderator
chuck off this list every member of the USA'ish persuasion until such time
as they learn the true meaning of the term "International Agreement".

Fuck the USA and all in her, that's what I say.

Richard Corbett - man of principle, which is considerably more that you can
say about the citizens of the USA who put personal affluence before the
control of their own effluence, which in turn, and by direct inference means
their own industrial shit, of which there is at least a 25% contribution
towards the total effect of global warming.
