[comp.dcom.telecom] A Problem With Copyright

telecom@eecs.nwu.edu (TELECOM Moderator) (03/16/89)

In Volume 9, Issue 82, Message 1 we had an article by John R. Levine discussing
the AOS situation. His message included excerpts from an article which had
appeared earlier on the Dow Jones Broadtape for February 28, 1989.

Dow Jones has since contacted Mr. Levine to complain of copyright violation
in the use of those excerpts here without their permission, and they have
asked that copies of that message be deleted from our archives, and that
distribution of that message be halted.

I have removed the message from the telecom-archives file at bu-cs.bu.edu
and from the back.issues file here at eecs.nwu.edu. I have requested that
Chip Rosenthal delete the message from his archives file and that he issue
a cancellation notice to the net.

I am likewise asking those of you who read TELECOM Digest via any of the
several expansion lists fed from the master list to kindly remove
message 1 from volume 9, issue 82 and substitute this message in its place.

Other moderators and users may wish to take caution and use this as their
guideline when quoting/excerpting the publications of Dow Jones in messages
posted.

Thank you.
