Double oops. Totally agreed. As my first introduction to PICS came via the thread-initiating message, I assumed that the topic fell within the parameters of 'web accesibility'. I should have kept better track of which mailing list was for what purpose. I have found a PICS mailing list, "pics-info@w3.org". At first sight it would appear to be devoted to information and requests for clarification about the technical aspects of PICS. I will make inquiries. Since this would appear to be the first time W3C activities have directly raised ethical questions, there may not yet be an appropriate forum. With regards to copyright, it is most likely that the transcription of the article falls within the fair use provisions; it is certianly within the spirit, if not the letter. If one of the other miscreants finds a better forum than pics-info, would that person please e-mail me. Matt Lye. mlye@trentu.ca
