	CANADIAN ASSOCIATION AGAINST SOFTWARE THEFT 
        UNVEILS THEIR 1995 ANTI-BBS STRATEGY !!!!!!



	I was reading todays issue of Computer Times, a rag
	from Toronto Ontario, that is distributed to all 
	network and computer admistration personnel.

	In the rag there was an article featuring the lawyer
 	for Microsoft Canada blabbing what CAAST had up its
	sleeves for pirate bulletin board operators in 1995.

	Basically they have concluded that bulletin boards are
	presenting a greater threat to their copyrights than
	they had originally thought.  You will recall  that 
	previously CAAST had always chased after major companies
	that had pirated software because they could sue their
	asses off and make a lot of money while pretending to
	be stamping out piracy.

	Well now they figure that bulletin boards are really 
	moving the warez in such volumes that they have to look
	at them now and crush them in 1995.

	One particularly interesting thing in the article was the
	comment that 'they would go after pay pirate sites' where
	they could sue the asses off the sysops ( not their exact
  	words but close enough ).

	So here is my prediction about CAAST raids on bulletin 
	boards in 1995 - they are going to go after :

	- bulletin boards where it looks like the sysop is
	  making a shit load of money.
	- bulletin boards where it looks like the sysop has
	  a shit load of money or lots of assets they can sue
	  him for ( ie house, cars, boats, motorbikes etc )

	I would strongly suggest that all sysops ensure that no
	discussions are permitted on any bulletin board that gives
	details of the financial situation of a sysop.  It is 
	obvious that CAAST spies will be looking to hit the jack
	pot and want to find some RICH sysops to RAID so they can
	sue them for fun and profit.

	As for lame sysops with only 1 to 3 nodes - don't sweat
	because you are just toooooooo small and insignicant for
	the money lusting boys at CAAST.

	As for couriers and traders - well you have enough problems
	with the telecomm carriers and it looks like the assholes at
	CAAST have not figured a way to make money busting you guys.
	So keep up the good work and help drive CAAST crazy ehhehe
