[NTLK] Copyright Test [was h*cks, kr*ks, SN]

[SteveCraft]

This entire thread puts the NTLK e'list at a level of risk. Regardless of
what anyone here feels about this topic, it could be said that anyone with a
combination of

infringement. Even if any case brought against NTLK amounts to nothing, I
don't want to see e'list taken down for a single second while lawyers debate
a debate, or worse.

Let's just end the whole thread right about now.

And delete this thread from the archives and pretend it never happened.
