[free-sklyarov] Copyright Contradictions

[tompoe at renonevada.net]

Hi: Let's see what you folks think about the following:
A web site that lists Users'Groups [all kinds, flavors, etc.]
A web site that lists web sites [supporters]
A web site that lists individuals [supporters]

The name of the web site: The Linux Army

On this page, those who agree to the following are listed:
1] Agree to open their sites to SPAM and cross-posting messages for TAKE 
ACTION events
2] All messages with EFF will be posted for list members of Users' 
Groups, web sites and individuals [upon moderator approval]
3] All members of The Linux Army will set up a folder on their mail 
clients to receive all messages with EFF in the Subject Line, so as not 
to have an undue amount of cross-posting and SPAM messages in their Inboxes.
4] Now, whenever there are ACTIONS TO TAKE, the hundreds of thousands of 
members of The Linux Army are alerted, and can, in most cases, with just 
three clicks, "Do Their Duty".

Slashdot is good for what it does, and The Linux Army, ugly as the SPAM 
aspect is, needs to be alerted to TAKE ACTION when needed. The only way 
to do that is to agree to a SPAM arrangement.

There's a sample page at:
http://www.studioforrecording.org/linuxarmy.html

If the idea is viable, then the next step is to decide who best to host 
the site?
Thanks,
