There is high-minded theory and there is real-world practice in law. The

two are only vaguely related. Has anyone ever been hassled for putting 25+ year old bike catalogs online ? I'm guessing no. You are probably 1,000 times more likely to die in a car

crash than to face consequences more dire than a simple request to remove

the "offensive' material for so doing. Part of life is the sensible management of risk. Do the math. So sue me, Kurt Sperry Bellingham WA
