nice. as i suspected, many people have strong feelings about this. i'm glad my home address is not listed as the contact info. we can't have irate autechre fans showing up at all hours of the night, now can we? some of the e-mail i have gotten on the subject (including various requests involving sodomy) has reinforced the fact that one need not be intelligent to enjoy music that is "intelligent."

as you'll note below, the domains were originally registered in november of 1999 -- that was nearly two years ago. if autechre care (which is debatable), surely they would have registered them before pimps like me could have grabbed them, no?

i would, of course, transfer them to autechre if they asked. someone purporting to be sean booth contacted me quite some time ago, offering some rare wax for them, but he failed to follow through. verifiable direct contact information would be handy. thanks for all of your e-mails on the subject. they have been entertaining. i would question the appropriateness of such indignancy, however. maybe it's a question of not owning a unique autechre-related item? i may be a trainspotter, but i'm not sorry. carefully watching for letter bombs, WACP _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I heard something about this on NPR... so if anyone can verify/add to/correct anything, please do so. But I believe there is some pending bill in the US that if successful will allow companies/people who own the copyright to a name to sue and take over any domain name named after it/them. It's also designed to prevent people from purchasing "whatever.com" with the intent of reselling the domain to "whatever" at an inflated price to make a profit. So if you, Mr. Capitalist, do not unload your domain quickly enough, Autechre may only have to wait a few months and sue for it. Assuming, as you pointed out, they care enough to do so. 8) Just an FYI... not a flame. -matT nashville.tn --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

How would this affect Mr. Capitalist, considering he acquired the domain before this bill was even drafted? derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- coming to a cineplex near you --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
