   Sides are not being taken, don't worry.

   Thanks for the kind words and support. Sorry if I came acroos as a
bit paranoid, but the Net is big and getting bigger. If the current
rate of expansion continues, every single sentient lifeform on the
planet, and a large portion of the non-sentient as well, will have
a net account in the next two years. We cannot assume that we can
act as if copyright laws do not exist.

   Hey, no problem. By this time you will probably have seen Peter
Manchester's post announcing the born-again tape-tree. No one has
yet stepped forward to start dubbing the PAL version, but master copies
did make it to the UK and Australia. At least a dozen copies were made
in PAL. If the PAL dub site is not available, we might be able to make
another PAL master tape for someone willing to make at least 5
additional copies. It's not economic to send multiple copies across
the Atlantic.  If someone is willing to make PAL dubs, write to:

   Yeah, Judie! We have a small amount of Judie video. It's impossible
to find her albums here.
