Eroticusenet, I am like Jeremy, just a newbie from 96 or 97... I haven't been at this very long. Your service (as a standard newsgroup thing) has been around for quite a while. The thumbnailer program used inside your site (and actively promoted in your sales pitch) has been around for a while, more typically on an end user basis rather than on a server basis. Without even accessing your site, I am able to show where you aggregate, filter, and extract images for end users to download. It's right there in your ad copy, the image is right there, try to deny what is directly on your own site. You don't make people download all the newsgroup to find images (standard newsgroup operation) but instead you filter out all the messages, all the headers, all the thread info, and allow the users to click thumbnails and generate a downloadable file (likely zipped to save bandwidth) of all the images, movies, and such that they select. They receive this data MINUS the actual posting that went with it.

As someone else asked: Is this true yes or no? No ad copy, no long speeches, can people click on thumbnails generated by your system and download images only without messages directly from your service? YES OR NO?

If you answer yes, do you have license and 2257 documentation for those images?

If the answer is NO, then please consult a lawyer. If the answer is yes, then I doubt you understand the question or have chosen not to answer truthfully.

Please answer the simple questions. No speeches, no ad copy, no on and on. It's about your service. Answer the questions.

Alex
