While I'm still on the fence about whether this whole SC DMCA thing
might be bullshit, my news provider is taking it very seriously. I got
dinged for some fills I posted back in April and my news provder sent
me a warning saying any further violations will result in my access
being pulled.
I'm not necessarily worried about litigation by Southern Charms but I
am concerned about losing Usenet access to what has been the best news
service I've had since 1999.

>>Under federal copyright law sharing my images on Usenet or elsewhere
