- I find that nice poetic justice. :) EH went after some private BBS
- systems with the legal system to get EH pics off those other BBS's.
- Seems that EH went with the shareware angle and BBS could not have more
- than 20 EH pics total on the BBS. A lot of BBS went and PURGED EVERY EH
- file because of this. It's about time they got a dose of their own
- medicine.

- I'm not condoning copyright violations or anything of the like. EH did
- not (at that time) display thier "license" so no one knew about it until
- EH decided that this big system had too many pics of his and he wasn't
- getting enough subscriptions.
