Kiran,
Whats the point of just copying and pasting from websites and filling
up our mailboxes? You would be far better off providing a short
paragraph and a URL for the article.
Also, by not making a mention of your source, you are violating the
copyright rights of cnet.com. Quoting their website, "Re-use of any of
CNET's editorial content and graphics online for any purpose is
strictly prohibited. The materials from CNET's sites are available for
informational and noncommercial uses offline only, provided the content
and/or graphics are not modified in any way, all copyright and other
notices on any copy are retained, and permission is granted by CNET.".
Please don't provide illegal(assumiing you have not obtained explicit
permission from the source) documents on the mailing list and make us a
part of the *crime*.
Also, the disclaimer attached to the email states that "This message
(including any attachments) contains confidential information intended
for a specific individual and purpose". Does that not make your email
totally useless for any mailing list with more than one member. It
means that this email was meant only for the person who uses the
address [EMAIL PROTECTED], and that all the rest of us
getting this message should "delete this message". Also the disclaimer
makes [EMAIL PROTECTED], or whoever the list admin is, a
criminal because the disclaimer also states that "copying, or
distribution of this message, or the taking of any action based on it,
is strictly prohibited."
For those who want to read the article in its original form, its
available at the following link
