So is CCC itself completly absolved of any wrong doing as far as copywrite violations by it's members goes? What you say about the general copywrite laws being too complex to present in any complete form makes sense, but I rough condensed "for dummies" version might be helpfull, not something written for only lawyers to understand. Is that posible, or would it be too vague and full of holes. Something less than 25 pages? Maybe such a publication allready exists. Pete
