Why not just subscribe to a large daily newspaper or two. If you really are interested in the entertainment world you can subscribe to Variety. The New York Times and the Times of London probably carry everything else. And where these are unavailable, there are other major papers. I don't believe that usenet should become an arm of AP, Reuters, etc. I am reasonably sure that they would be some- what upset with the infringing of their copyright as well. That a thing can be done is not a reason to do it! Besides, by distributing wire service stuff this way (with or without authorization) is probably helping to unemploy some poor newpaper carrier, etc. etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
