[Thought Police Take Over Portion Of Original 13 Colonies]
VIRGINIA COUNTY RECALLS STUDENT LAPTOPS
Henrico County, Va. school officials are recalling all 11,000 laptop
computers that it distributed to its high school students in order to
retrofit them with security software that will prevent students from using
the devices for accessing pornography or changing their grades -- abuses
that reportedly have occurred since the machines were handed out last fall.
Game and music downloading capabilities will also be eliminated or heavily
restricted and instant messaging will be limited to home use. Teachers have
complained that in-class use of entertainment file-sharing and messaging
are disruptive. (AP/Wall Street Journal 20 Jan 2002)

EXPLODING CHIPS COULD FOIL THIEVES
Researchers at the University of California in San Diego have developed a
way to blow up silicon chips using an electric signal -- an innovation that
could be used to fry electronic circuitry in devices after they're stolen
or fall into the wrong hands. The American spy plane that was impounded in
China last year is an example where such technology would have proven handy
in destroying its secret electronics systems. Similarly, if a cell phone
were stolen, the owner could alert the wireless carrier, which would send a
signal to trigger a small explosion in the phone's chip, rendering it
useless. The techniques uses a small amount of the oxidizing chemical
gadolinium nitrate applied to a porous silicon wafer. (New Scientist

SATELLITE SIGN-UPS INCREASE; CABLE SLIPS SLIGHTLY
Cable television companies' share of the U.S. pay-TV market slid last year
from 80% to 78% as satellite TV companies increased the rate of customer
sign-ups by 15% from a year earlier, according to the Federal Communications
Commission. Cable customer sign-ups grew more slowly, up 1.9% for the year.
Overall, 88.3 million U.S. households paid for video services as of June
2001 -- up 4.6% from 2000. (Bloomberg News/Los Angeles Times 15 Jan 2001)

PHILIPS SAYS COPY-PROTECTED CDs WON'T LAST LONG
Philips Electronics, which invented the compact disc, says the
controversial attempts by the recording industry to market "copy protected"
CDs will fail because consumers just don't like it. As inventor of the CD
standard and the industry's licensing body, Philips says it could refuse to
license the new discs as genuine CDs or pursue some kind of legal action,
but thinks the copy-protected CDs will disappear on their own as consumers
reject them. "Any kind of legal action would take years and we don't expect
these [discs] to last that long," says Gary Wirtz, general manager of the
Philips Copyright Office. "At the moment we are trying to reason with
people rather than sue them. [The technology is] not going to work, because
any hacker can still make copies. It's only going to affect legitimate
consumers and we know there have already been considerable complaints."
Philips opposes the technology because it can make legitimate CDs
unplayable in some older players and in-car audio systems. Critics maintain
that the technique used to block copying can also impair the quality of a
disc's audio content over time. (New Scientist 11 Jan 2002)

THE SPAM WARS
There has been a 16-fold increase in the number of unsolicited commercial
e-mail messages in the past two years (according to the spam-filtering
company Brightmail), and little progress has been made in fighting it,
although sporadic lawsuits have sometimes yielded (very) small (and often
uncollectable) cash judgments against the spammers. The president of the
anti-spam Junkbusters Corporation has compared such lawsuits to "mopping up
an oil spill with a toothbrush." Yet some anti-spammers feel the effort is
worthwhile, and Bennett Haselton, who recently won four judgments of $500
each in Washington state, plans to publish a how-to guide for the
spam-perplexed, hoping that if ought people "get in the habit of taking
legal action if they get spammed, then it's going to become so expensive
that spammers have to get out of business." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 14

CHINA SOON TO BECOME WORLD'S SECOND-BIGGEST PC MARKET
International Data Corporation (IDC) is forecasting sales of 13.2 million
PCs in China in 2003, compared with a prediction of 12.7 million units sold
in Japan. If the forecast holds true China will then be Asia's biggest
market for personal computers, and will be the world's second-largest PC
market after the United States. (Reuters/New York Times 8 Jan 2002)

DVDS OUTSELL VIDEOCASSETTES
Sales of DVDs have outpaced sales of videocassettes in the U.S. for the
first time, generating more than $4.6 billion, compared with the $3.8
billion in VHS sales posted for 2001, according to the DVD Entertainment
Group. In addition, DVD rentals generated more than $1.4 billion last year.
"This growth comes from the phenomenal increase in both sales and rentals
of DVDs and has propelled the overall home video business to an
unprecedented annual growth rate of 21% for the year," says Warner Home
Video president Warren Lieberfarb. Sales of DVDs helped drive overall
revenue for the home video industry up from $13.9 billion in 2000 to $16.8
billion in 2001. (Hollywood Reporter 9 Jan 2002)

MICROSOFT INVESTIGATING ALLEGED FLAW IN BROWSER
A serious flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser could
allow hackers to steal sensitive information from computer users
who are lured to Web sites with Trojan horse code. Microsoft
security said it is investigating the claim, first posted on the
BugTraq mailing list. Microsoft also criticized the security
researcher who reported the flaw, saying they were not given
enough lead time to create a solution. BugTraq moderator David
Ahmad said the hole is a failure on Microsoft's part to adhere
to standard security rules that prevent Web sites from stealing
information left by cookies from previously visited Web sites.
The researcher who discovered the flaw said the easiest way to
protect any computer was to disable JavaScript and read e-mail
in text-only format. (Computerworld Online, 8 January 2002)
CONGRESSMAN MOVES TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO COPY DIGITAL FILES
Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), a member of the Judiciary Subcommittee
on the Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property, said he
will propose an amendment to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA) that will protect the right of consumers to copy digital
files. The act classifies tools used to copy digital material,
such as songs on a CD and DVD movies, as illegal, but Boucher
thinks they should be kept legal, while people who make
unauthorized copies should be subject to sanctions. The
congressman also issued a letter to the Recording Industry
Association of America implying that copy-protected CDs may
constitute a violation of the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act.
In the letter, he expressed his concern that technologies such
as encryption are being used to block home recording, even
though consumers already compensate the entertainment industry
for any potential copying loss whenever they purchase a blank
recordable CD. (Los Angeles Times, 8 January 2002)
UTAH STUDENT DEFENDS HANDLING OF AIM SECURITY FLAW
The Utah State University student who revealed a dangerous
security hole in AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM) said that he did
so because he received no response from the proper authorities
at that company when he told them about it. Matt Conover said he
and his w00w00 volunteer group of security experts uncovered the
flaw that could allow hackers to take control of a user's computer
using a "buffer overflow" glitch found in an advanced game-playing
features of some AIM versions. AOL criticized the group for making
public such a dangerous vulnerability, but security expert Russ
Cooper of TruSecure agreed with Conover's characterization of AOL
as unresponsive. Nicholas Weaver, a University of California at
Berkeley computer science graduate student, agreed and added that
software companies often disregard potential flaws unless they
are demonstrated in "proof of concept" releases such as the one
Conover posted. (Reuters, 3 January 2002)

Check out our Websites at promo.net/pg & gutenberg.net. . .for INSTANT
access to this files, please see below, as our Chief Cataloguer is in
the Eastern Hemisphere for the next few weeks, so you will need to find
the new files with the filenames rather than our search engines. . . .
***43 New Listings This Week***
With 4,335 eTexts online as of January 9, it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $2.31 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.

This "cost" is down from $3.23 when we had 3100 Etexts on Jan 3, 2001!
Counting our great reduction in *reserved* numbers this means you have
1258 new Project Gutenberg eBooks coming to you over the past 52 weeks.
Please let me know how much information we should include here about a
variety of things about our production schedule. Should we put all of
these statistics in a separate Newsletter, include them in the weekly
or monthly Newsletters. . .how much should we include?

Welcome to another new year at Project Gutenberg!!!
This year I am hoping we will achieve the following goals:
1. Reach eBook #5000 by our 31st Anniversary on July 4, 2002.
2. Succeed in republishing several lost collections of eBooks
from other sites. Those of you who volunteered for the
"Raiders of the Lost Art". . .please ask me for details!
[We also need several volunteer coordinators for these.]
Even for eBooks of unknown origin, all we have to do is
proofread the first and last pages of each chapter against
a clearable paper edition. . .if you are willing to do it,
then we could literally double our production this year,
and save large eBook collections from disappearing.
3. To finally get Project Gutenberg properly funded!
Let me know if you are willing to write even the simplest
grant proposals, funding letters, or make any contacts,
or help us create lists of potential donors, similar to
the lists used by PBS, etc.
[If you are already on our Letters Team, you are in here]
4. To make the Project Gutenberg Newsletter independent!
Let me know if you are interested in being an editor,
proofreader, or statistician!!! Also, let me know if
you would prefer any change in how we present records
of our weekly, monthly, yearly or total production.
We need people who can run spreadsheets or databases!
Any subscribers to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, etc?
5. To scan and publish the logs of Captain James Cook,
who explored and discovered a wide range of places.
Sam Cook has graciously accepted our request to do
these and present them to the public, but we need
some recommendations on planetary scanners, etc.
This could be a high visibility project.
6. There is also an outside chance that we will reach #6000
by this time next year. . .I will keep you posted.

Proofers are needed for reading chess board formations using
FEN notations. The proofers would need to verify that board
positions are indeed in checkmate. This task will progress
from 3 pieces (two kings and some other piece) on up to the
full complement of chess pieces. Each file contains the
possible checkmates for the given number of pieces. While this
task starts small, the total number of board positions will be
staggering, so the more proofers the better!

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 01/09/02**: 4,335
(This number includes the 37 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
In our first week of the new year, we have produced 43 new etexts,
which would yield 2236 for the year 2002 with this as our average.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week ending on a Wednesday. Years end
with the first Wednesday in January. In 2002, January 2nd was the
1st Wednesday, so January 9th is the end of our 1st production week,
and the 52nd week will end January 1, 2003. Next year will run from
January 2, 2003 to January 7, 2004 and thus will include 53 weeks.

BILL AIMS AT PROTECTING RIGHT TO COPY DIGITAL FILES
Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) says he will introduce legislation that would
amend the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to protect consumers' right to
make copies of digital files, such as songs on a CD. Boucher also has
written a letter to the Recording Industry Association of America,
suggesting that copy-protected CDs may violate the 1992 Audio Home
Recording Act. Under that law, consumers pay a few cents extra each time
they buy a blank CD, with the money going toward the recording industry to
compensate them for potential losses caused by unauthorized copying.
Boucher says, "I am particularly concerned that some of these technologies
may prevent or inhibit consumer home recording." (Los Angeles Times 8 Jan 2002)

MICROSOFT'S PRACTICE OF NOT PAYING DIVIDENDS EARNS NADER'S IRE
Consumer activists Ralph Nader and James Love have written a letter to
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates in which they call Microsoft's "failure to
pay dividends year after year" an "inappropriate and we believe unlawful
device" to shield Microsoft's profits from taxes. Microsoft is currently
sitting on a cash pile of about $36 billion, which has caught the attention
of some analysts and investors who say that it's simply too much, and
should be put to better use, including a possible dividend payout. "It's a
tax-avoidance scheme for the big shareholders," said Nader in an interview.
"This thing is out of control. Has any company in history ever accumulated
so much cash?" Microsoft said in a statement that the U.S. tax code
"recognizes the need for companies to retain cash to fund their businesses,
and high-tech companies commonly maintain significant cash balances to
support their business objectives." (Wall Street Journal 7 Jan 2002)

AOL TO BUY OUT BERTELSMANN STAKE IN AOL EUROPE
AOL Time Warner is paying cash to buy out Bertelsmann's $6.75 billion stake
in AOL Europe in response to Bertelsmann's decision to exercise its option
to sell its stake for the pre-arranged amount. AOL plans to pay in two
tranches -- $5.25 billion in January and $1.5 billion next July. "AOL's
shares have been under pressure and there's quite a bit of volatility in
the stock, so AOL Time Warner looked at its bank facility and decided it
could absorb a cash payment comfortably," said one source close to the
deal. (Reuters/CNet 7 Jan 2002)

INTEL INTRODUCES TWO NEW PENTIUM CHIPS
Intel is introducing two Pentium 4 chips that will run at speeds of 2.0
gigahertz and 2.2 gigahertz, support a more common memory standard (DDR, or

HOME PCs -- THE NEXT HACKER TARGET
Computer hackers are turning their sights to the humble home PC, which is
now faster, more powerful and less secure than ever before. Fueling the
onslaught are several factors, including the trend toward home-based DSL or
cable connections that are "on" all the time, and the lackadaisical
attitudes of most home PC owners who generally don't keep up to date with
the latest antivirus and firewall software. In addition, many home users
are naive about the potential threat and willingly click on unsolicited
e-mails that could be infected with malicious programs. "Home users have
generally been the least prepared to defend against attacks," warns
Carnegie Mellon's Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center. "In
many cases, these machines are then used by intruders to launch attacks
against other organizations." Antivirus firm Message Labs reported that it
detected one virus per 370 e-mail messages in 2001, double the rate of the
previous year. Meanwhile, Amit Yoran of computer security firm Riptech says
the advent of wireless networking will increase the risk of attack
significantly: "The standard itself is insecure." What we're faced with is
the widespread adoption [of wireless networks] throughout corporate America
and throughout consumer markets and people haven't really thought through
how to protect." (AP/Wall Street Journal 4 Jan 2002)

SEND ME ASCII: A DAY IN THE WIRED LIFE
Sun chief executive Scott McNealy, like the rest of us, gets a lot of
e-mail messages: "I get hundreds a day, I review them all, answer many,
forward many for response, hate the junk, I type really fast, ignore
perfect grammer and typin, getting more over time, but can read e-mail from
any browser, have T1's into my homes and read all that is left from the day
before I go to sleep after the boys go down and get up before they do to
read what came in while sleeping... I HATE attachments, MSFT docs are the
WORST! I send them back. Send me ascii." (USA Today 4 Jan 2002)

APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS ANTI-SPAM LAW
Commercial e-mails, or spam, must contain valid return addresses
and other identifiers that make it easier for consumers to remove
themselves from mailing lists, according to a ruling upheld
recently by a California appeals court. The defendants in that
case, two Palo Alto-based companies, had argued that the previous
ruling violated the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Because Congress has yet to settle on any comprehensive anti-spam
law, consumers must rely on state law. But that could result in
a hodgepodge of restrictions on legitimate Web-based businesses.
The California ruling requires that commercial e-mailers also
mark their messages with an "ADV:" in the subject heading, and
a special "ADV:ADLT" for messages linked to adult content. The
Supreme Court in October refused to hear a challenge to a
Washington state law that stringently regulates spam in that state.

["Big Brother Is Watching YOU!"]
JUDGE OKAYS FBI KEYBOARD SNIFFING
U.S. District Judge Nicholas Politan ruled that the FBI acted
legally when it installed a keystroke logger in the PC of alleged
mobster Nicodermo S. Scarfo in order to root out a password needed
to decrypt confidential business data. Within the encrypted file
is evidence of a gambling and loansharking operation, according
to the Justice Department. Scarfo's defense contended that this
constituted a violation of both wiretap law and the Fourth
Amendment's outlawed "unreasonable" searches, but Politan's
decision upheld assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Wigler's argument
that neither was circumvented. Wigler said this is the first case
of its kind to employ the keystroke logger, but privacy advocates
are worried that the judge's decision will expand the government's
surveillance powers over its citizens. Also troubling is the fact
that the government did not fully detail the keystroke logger's
operation to the defense, noted Electronic Privacy Information
Center general counsel David Sobel.

HACKERS DISCOVER HOLE IN AOL'S INSTANT MESSENGER
America Online has verified that an international group of
hackers has exploited a buffer-overflow security flaw in its
Instant Messenger program that enables them to commandeer
computers. Only users of the Windows version are threatened,
but there are more than 100 million users of that version.
AOL's Andrew Weinstein said that the company has already
developed a remedy that will be implemented within the next few
days. Utah college student and hacker group founder Matt Conover
advised Instant Messenger users only to accept messages from
those on their "Buddy Lists."

[Harvard Acceptance Letters are Major Spam?]
E-MAIL GLITCH HITS HARVARD APPLICANTS
In the wake of the anthrax scare, Harvard University admissions
officials decided to inform early applicants of their decisions
by e-mail, but a server glitch caused America Online to reject
between 75 and 100 of these instant messages in December.
However, the majority of the applicants eventually received their
notifications. Nevertheless, AOL officials have not been able to
explain why the rejected messages were classified as junk mail
by the servers. AOL's Nicholas Graham said the servers are
designed to block e-mails of a certain size, quantity, or
address. Admissions officials have elected to post a note on
Harvard's Web site suggesting that students ensure that their
ISPs do not block electronic messages from the school.

money transfers from any country, in any currency.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of

etexts in Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch/Flemish, French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Swedish and
Welsh. And, of course, English; and there are some who would
count the language of DNA/GATC. . .
And very-recently we added our first etext in Greek.
Let's do even more languages. . .

The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 01/02/02**: 4,292
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 01/02/01: 52 Weeks (364 days)
1,240 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Monthly avg: 103.33
Weekly avg: 23.85
Daily avg: 3.41
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,240,
this is 3.41 per day or 102.2 Per 30 day month. . . .
We are 52 weeks through the year. . .next week we will
start a new 52 week calendar year of eBook production!
These statistics are calculated based on full weeks of production,
each production-week ending on a Wednesday, starting with the first
Wednesday in Jan. In 2001, Jan 3rd was the first Wednesday, and
Jan 10th was the end of the first week of production. And on this
basis, etexts announced between Dec 26, 2001 and Jan 2, 2002 will
be counted as the last week of production for 2001.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,250
Project Gutenberg eBooks online.

[In case you wondered who was buying up your telephone company
without much of any real media coverage, it is Southwestern Bell
Corporation, rarely, if ever, mentioned now other than as SBC.
They bought Southwestern Bell, Ameritech, PacificBell, Nevada Bell,

as far as I can tell, and are now starting on Yahoo!. . .let's
just hope Google never sells out.]
SBC ACQUIRES STAKE IN YAHOO
SBC Communications, the No. 2 U.S. local telecom operator, is buying a 3%
stake in Yahoo from Softbank America for undisclosed terms. The move comes
on the heels of last month's agreement between the two companies to connect
Yahoo's content with SBC's 3.6 million Internet customers. "This purchase
will strengthen the new SBC and Yahoo relationship, further solidifying the
premier alliance between the nation's leading DSL Internet provider and the
number one global Internet destination," says SBC chairman and CEO Edward
Whitacre. (Financial Times 28 Dec 2001)

["When R&D Bugdets Go, You Can Be Sure All Else Will Follow"]
[Quote from a Zenith employee when Sony killed of their R&D]
U.S. R&D SPENDING TO GROW JUST 3.2% NEXT YEAR
Corporate spending on research and development will grow by just 3.2% in
2002, for a total of about $195 billion, according to research compiled by
Battelle Memorial Institute and R&D Magazine. The growth rate is down from
an estimated 5.4% in 2001 and 10.8% in 2000. Meanwhile, with corporate
spending down, that means that for the first time in years, the government
is expected to increase its R&D spending more than industry next year.
According to Battelle, government R&D expenditures will increase 4.7% to
$75.5 billion next year, up from 1.3% in 2001. (Wall Street Journal 28 Dec
2001)

THE FUTURE OF E-PUBLISHING
Although e-publishing has suffered a series of setbacks this year, Wired
magazine still found plenty of optimism about the future of e-books. Michael
S. Hart of Project Gutenberg, which offers books in electronic form, says:
"In 2002 the number of e-books available for free download on the Net will
pass 20,000 and the number of Net users will start heading towards 1 billion."
Librarian Cynthia Orr, a co-founder of BookBrowser.com, thinks e-publishers
should pay more attention to libraries, and says that if the major
publishers worked with librarians or distributors "to figure out how to let
libraries purchase or license their e-books, and let readers 'check them
out' for free," that would help build "a market that otherwise threatens to
just collapse for lack of interest. Librarians have been careful defenders
of copyright over the years ... and our budgets are far higher than they
realize." And Mark Gross, president of Data Conversion Laboratory, thinks
that the e-publishing has already won a stealth war: ""What people forget is
e-books were going strong before they were called e-books and they went on
to sweep into many aspects of business and publishing. Most of this has gone
unnoticed by the media. Probably because it has been a kind of backdoor
revolution. To cite one example: Print law books are just about gone. People
don't use them in law firms anymore. It's all electronic books or online. A
revolution has occurred, but no one's noticed." (Wired 25 Dec 2001)

THE SURVEILLANCE SOCIETY
In the battle between privacy and security, the events of Sept.
11 may favor security, but the United States was leaning toward
surveillance even before that. Americans now seem more willing
to accept technologies that can be used to track them, as long
as they offer protection. Cameras mounted on traffic lights,
electronic cards that record users' locations, and computerized
financial records are only the tip of the surveillance iceberg.
Law enforcement agencies are taking advantage of tools that
allow them to follow data trails to apprehend criminals and
suspects. Cameras that use face-recognition software are widely
accepted in Britain, where about 1.5 million police surveillance
units are in operation, with more on the way. Researchers are
developing software that can gather information from a wide
variety of disparate sources based on user requests. The level
of protection that society desires raises fears that a giant
surveillance network could be created--one that could erase
personal privacy and public anonymity. However, citizens can
use the same technology to make sure that the government does
not exceed its authority and acts responsibly. (Wired, December 2001)
[Not to mention Disney's totally obvious control of the ABC TV Network]
A TROUBLING TREND
Even as the Internet population continues to surge, there are
fewer channels for Web content to flow through as smaller Internet
firms close up and carriers begin restricting broadcasting
capabilities. Part of the reason for the limited content is
that Internet users are becoming more savvy about where to
find exactly what they need and surfing fewer sites as a result.
But now there is the threat that companies that own both the
infrastructure and content will keep smaller companies and
individuals from publishing on the Web. Stanford professor
Lawrence Lessig warns of corporations such as AOL that will
leverage their ownership of cable lines to favor their own
content. He gives the example of some cable Internet providers
that prevent users from running Web servers and broadcasting
large numbers of video streams.

A WATCH LIST FOR 2002: COPYRIGHTS
In 2001 the entertainment industry tried to staunch the flow
of pirated material over the Internet by suing the Internet
companies over whose networks such copyright infringement took
place. That strategy proved ineffective, so the new target for
2002 will be the pirates--namely, consumers--themselves. "It's
not companies doing this; it's hobbyists in their garage,"
explained Forrester Research analyst Eric Scheirer. "To stop
hobbyists requires a whole new level of copyright enforcement."
Scheirer expects to see entertainment-industry lawsuits aimed
at consumers next year. Meanwhile, the industry is pressuring
computer and consumer electronics manufacturers to enhance their
products with technology that can block consumers from playing
pirated software. Several movie studios are backing a proposal
from Sen. Ernest F. Hollings (D-S.C.) that would make such
technologies a requirement.

[Do you really think the government will try to stop Hollywood?]
FEDS PROBE HOLLYWOOD INTERNET MOVIE VENTURES
Two separate ventures by Hollywood studios to offer Web-based
video-on-demand are being investigated by the Justice Department.
Both efforts "may substantially lessen competition or tend to
create a monopoly in the market for video-on-demand services and
related movie products," according to a civil subpoena obtained
by the Wall Street Journal. Competitors are concerned that the
ventures will use their influence to raise fees, or will refuse
to license their films to other digital movie companies. One of
the efforts, MovieFly, includes Sony, Warner, Paramount, MGM,
and Universal; Disney and 20th Century Fox have teamed up for
the second service, Movies.com. Video-on-demand customers can
download movies on set-top boxes or on their computers from the
Internet. The service is expected to boom with a projected surge
in broadband use.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.

Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.

money transfers from any country, in any currency.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of

The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the Monthly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 01/02/02**: 4,292
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 01/02/01: 52 Weeks (364 days)
1,240 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Monthly avg: 103.33
Weekly avg: 23.85
Daily avg: 3.41
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,240,
this is 3.41 per day or 102.2 Per 30 day month. . . .
We are 52 weeks through the year. . .next week we will
start a new 52 week calendar year of eBook production!
These statistics are calculated based on full weeks of production,
each production-week ending on a Wednesday, starting with the first
Wednesday in Jan. In 2001, Jan 3rd was the first Wednesday, and
Jan 10th was the end of the first week of production. And on this
basis, etexts announced between Dec 26, 2001 and Jan 2, 2002 will
be counted as the last production of 2001.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,250
Project Gutenberg eBooks online.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

Subject: [gweekly] Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter

Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2001 14:40:39 -0500 (EST)
PROJECT GUTENBERG WEEKLY NEWSLETTER FOR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2001
***4,261 Tree-Friendly Titles Online***
***29 New Listings This Week***
***119 New Listings This Month***
***1,209 New Listings This Year***
Your suggestions are encouraged as to the way we divide years and months.
The first Newsletter of 2001 was 01/03/01, and the next one is 01/02/02.
We have always counted our production from the middle of the week, as we
send out the Newsletters on Wednesdays. However, since we changed to a
new format including both weekly and monthly Newsletters, we have to set
a format for how to count monthly production, and we need to make sure
that fits well with how we count weekly production. Of course, this is
all likely to become historical when we produce so many eBooks per day
that we have to send out a daily Newsletter, as well.
However, back to the present for the moment. . .sometimes we will count
52 Wednesdays per year, and sometimes 53. . .since 52 weeks only add up
to 364 days, and thus every 7th year we would get 53 Wednesdays, and we
are not counting leap years, which cause this to happen even more.
This year the 365 days starting from 01/03/01 would end on 01/04/02,
including 01/01/01, and thus we would have 53 weeks counted. . . .
The question is!!!
How would you create a bookkeeping system that handles this best.
Right now the default would be that we counted the 01/03/01
Newsletter as part of the year 2000, since most of that was
produced during December, 2000 [remember, monthly back then],
so we should obviously include 01/02/02 in the year 2001.
But what will we do when we actually have to count 53 weeks?
Happy New Year!!!
Michael

DONATIONS TO PROJECT GUTENBERG
Project Gutenberg's success is due to the hard work of thousands of
volunteers over more than 30 years. Your donations make it possible
to support these volunteers, and pay our few employees to continue the
creation of free electronic texts. We accept credit cards, checks and
money transfers from any country, in any currency.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of
Mississippi. PGLAF is approved as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization
by the US Internal Revenue Service, and has the Federal Employee
Information Number (EIN) 64-6221541.
More information about PGLAF is available, including several different
methods of donating. Please visit http://promo.net/pg/fundraising, or
email the PGLAF's chief executive officer (and volunteer), Dr. Gregory
B. Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>
***
For "instant" access to our new Etexts you can surf to:
<http://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03>
or
<ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03>
You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below.
Note that updated etexts usually go in their original
directory (e.g., etext01, etext02, etc.).
***
Looking for non-English etexts? Try the "advanced search" feature at:
http//promo.net/cgi-promo/pg/t9.cgi
This allows you to search by language. Currently, there are
etexts in Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch/Flemish, French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Swedish and
Welsh. And, of course, English; and there are some who would
count the language of DNA/GATC. . .
And very-recently we added our first etext in Greek.
Let's do even more languages. . .
***
For a list of mirrors (copies) of the Project Gutenberg
collection, view http://promo.net/pg/list.html
We're always looking for new mirrors, especially outside
of North America. For information about how to set one
up, contact Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>
***
The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/26/01**: 4,261
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 12/26/01: 51 Weeks & 3 Days (360 days)
1,209 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.71
Daily avg: 3.36
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1209 For 360 days,
this is 3.36 per day or 100.8 Per 30 day month. . . .
We are about 51 weeks through the year. . . .
These statistics are calculated based on full weeks of production,
each production-week ending on a Wednesday, starting with the first
Wednesday in Jan. In 2001, Jan 3rd was the first Wednesday, and
Jan 10th was the end of the first week of production. And on this
basis, etexts announced between Dec 26, 2001 and Jan 2, 2002 will
be counted as the last production of 2001.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,250
Project Gutenberg eBooks online.

Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.

DONATIONS TO PROJECT GUTENBERG
Project Gutenberg's success is due to the hard work of thousands of
volunteers over more than 30 years. Your donations make it possible
to support these volunteers, and pay our few employees to continue the
creation of free electronic texts. We accept credit cards, checks and
money transfers from any country, in any currency.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of
Mississippi. PGLAF is approved as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization
by the US Internal Revenue Service, and has the Federal Employee
Information Number (EIN) 64-6221541.
More information about PGLAF is available, including several different
methods of donating. Please visit http://promo.net/pg/fundraising, or
email the PGLAF's chief executive officer (and volunteer), Dr. Gregory
B. Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>

For "instant" access to our new Etexts you can surf to:
<http://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03>
or
<ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03>
You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below.
Note that updated etexts usually go in their original
directory (e.g., etext01, etext02, etc.).
***
Looking for non-English etexts? Try the "advanced search"
feature at:
http//promo.net/cgi-promo/pg/t9.cgi
This allows you to search by language. Currently, there are
etexts in Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch/Flemish, French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Swedish and
Welsh. And, of course, English; and there are some who would
count the language of DNA/GATC. . .
And very-recently we added our first etext in Greek.
Let's do even more languages. . .
***
For a list of mirrors (copies) of the Project Gutenberg
collection, view http://promo.net/pg/list.html
We're always looking for new mirrors, especially outside
of North America. For information about how to set one
up, contact Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>

The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/26/01**: 4,244
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 12/26/01: 51 Weeks & 3 Days (360 days)
1,192 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.18
Daily avg: 3.31
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,192 For 360 days,
this is 3.31 per day or 99.33 Per 30 day month. . . .
We are about 51 weeks through the year. . . .
These statistics are calculated based on full weeks of production,
each production-week ending on a Wednesday, starting with the first
Wednesday in Jan. In 2001, Jan 3rd was the first Wednesday, and
Jan 10th was the end of the first week of production. And on this
basis, etexts announced between Dec 26, 2001 and Jan 2, 2002 will
be counted as the last production of 2001.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,200 etexts
on line.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to

INTERNET: NOW A MARKET PLACE BUT STILL A MEETING PLACE
Since 1991, when the National Science Foundation opened the Internet to
commercial uses, the Net has obviously changed its character from a "clubby"
meeting place for scientists and other professionals to a fast-paced
marketplace for the masses ... and for mass commerce. Is that good or bad?
Both. Vint Cerf, known as the "Father of the Internet" for his role in
creating the Internet nonproprietary communications protocol TCP/IP, admits
that nonproprietary systems for commercialization are "not consistent with
the spirit in which the Internet was born," but adds: "I'm pragmatic. The
Internet has to pay for itself. Otherwise it wouldn't work anymore." Barbara
Simmons, past president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)
says that the Internet "is the last remaining communications medium that
allows the small person to participate. To lose that would be a great
tragedy." (Los Angeles Times 25 Dec 2001)

[If Honest??? . . . from a Politico?]
FCC CHAIRMAN PREDICTS MORE BIG TELECOM MERGERS
Michael C. Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, says
that more telecom mergers are necessary and inevitable, and that they can be
accomplished without damage to maintenance of a competitive environment: "If
we were honest, we would have to know and admit that network businesses
always drive to size, scope and scale. To realize, at some level, the kind
of extraordinary benefits we keep wanting on a national mass-market scale,
there's bigness involved." And the effect on competition? "There's a big
difference between big and market power or anti-competitive power, but
sometimes we confuse the two... There's going to be an orbit of major global
providers who will garner all the attention, but along their value chain
there will be hundreds of important companies providing pieces of what the
consumer needs." (Financial Times 20 Dec 2001) http://news.ft.com/ft/

SECURITY FLAW COMPROMISES WINDOWS XP
Windows XP contains several security flaws that could further
stymie sales for the new system, which has sold significantly
less than previous Windows releases despite being billed as the
best version yet. Hackers can remotely commandeer the target
computer, crash it, redirect it to a Web site, or even use it in
a denial-of-service attack. The flaws involve the "universal plug
and play" feature that connects to other devices via the Internet.
Windows Millennium Edition and Windows 98 also share the flaw
when loaded with special Windows XP compatibility software.
Microsoft and security consultants from eEye, the company who
discovered the flaws, have released patches, which are now
available on the Microsoft Web site.

USING E-MAIL TO COUNT CONNECTIONS
Columbia University sociologists are working to create
algorithms that could speed peer-to-peer networks by modeling
them after complex personal connections. Based on the popular
"six degrees of separation" theory developed in the 1960s,
Dr. Duncan Watts plans to prove that everyone on the globe is
connected by six personal connections at most, via e-mail.
Whether or not it is true, Watts said his research will help
scientists understand how people form connections based on
social links, and hopes that the research will also help
computer network developers pioneer new, more efficient
file-sharing systems. Cornell University associate professor
of computer science Jon Kleinberg said the experiment will
help researchers in his field capitalize on the strategies
people use to locate others through personal links.
(New York Times, 20 December 2001)
SENATE PASSES EDUCATION BILL
The Senate voted 87-10 to pass an education reform bill that
would allow parents to prohibit companies from gathering
information about their children at school. The legislation
was originally proposed by Sens. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) and
Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) as the Student Privacy Protection Act
last year, but including it in the more comprehensive reform bill
significantly improves its chances of being signed by President
Bush. Companies frequently offer IT equipment and Internet access
to public schools in exchange for the right to monitor students'
usage and collect information about what they view and buy online.
Consumer advocates and parents groups warned that marketers were
exploiting children in this way, and the privacy language seeks
to curtail such practices. The bill would give parents the choice
to opt out of such data collection services. The education
package will also earmark $7 billion for state technology
initiatives, $450 million for math and science partnerships,
and $250 million for school libraries to boost literacy
through technology acquisitions. (Newsbytes, 18 December 2001)
A CALL TO END COPYRIGHT CONFUSION
Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America warned
technology firms that if they do not encrypt their digital
content to ensure copy protection, then the federal government
will institute its own standards. Congress may be preparing to
pass the Security Systems Standards and Certification Act (SSSCA)
proposed by Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-S.C.) as early as next year.
The SSSCA requires digital rights management to be incorporated
in any "interactive digital device" and prohibits the creation,
sale, or distribution of any such device that lacks "certified
security technologies" authorized by the Commerce Department.
Free speech proponents such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation
are opposed to the bill, which they claim will choke technology
and act against fair-use rights. However, the Commerce
Department's Bruce Mehlman believes that a government-instituted
digital rights management standard would offer more fair-use
rights than a standard created by the private sector.

LOTS of new information. . .so this is ALSO going to the monthly list.
Because EIGHT more eBooks came in while I was preparing to send this,

FROM MICHAEL HART, DIRECTOR OF PROJECT GUTENBERG:
I have been encouraged by some of our volunteers to say a
few words in each Newsletter, but I have previously been
trying to keep my own personal views out of any Project
Gutenberg materials.
In a small effort to give something to both sides:
Here is a short file from when Project Gutenberg had only
a small handful of titles, this one was never numbered or
listed in our index. . .perhaps if we collected up more.
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
(A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS)
by Clement Clarke Moore
THE MILLENNIUM FULCRUM EDITION, 1988
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ST. NICHOLAS soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT."
JEST 'FORE CHRISTMAS
by Eugene Field
THE MILLENNIUM FULCRUM EDITION, 1988
Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
Mighty glad I ain't a girl -- ruther be a boy,
Without them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy!
Love to chawnk green apples an' go swimmin' in the lake --
Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
'Most all the time the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me,
But jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
Got yeller dog named Sport, sick him on the cat;
First thing she knows she doesn't know where she is at!
Got a clipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to slide,
'Long comes the grocery cart, an' we all hook a ride!
But sometimes when the grocery man is worrited an' cross,
He reaches at us with his whip, an' larrups up his hoss,
An' then I laff an' holler, "Oh, ye never teched ME!"
But jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
Gran'ma says she hopes that when I git to be a man,
I'll be a missionarer like her oldest brother, Dan,
As was et up by the cannibuls that lives in Ceylon's Isle,
Where every prospeck pleases, an' only man is vile!
But gran'ma she has never been to see a Wild West show,
Nor read the Life of Daniel Boone, or else I guess she'd know
That Buff'lo Bill and cowboys is good enough for me!
EXCEP' jest 'fore Christmas, when I'm as good as I kin be!
And then old Sport he hangs around, so solemn-like an' still,
His eyes they keep a-sayin': "What;s the matter, little Bill?"
The old cat sneaks down off her perch an' wonders what's become
Of them two enemies of hern that used to make things hum!
But I am perlite an' 'tend so earnestly to biz,
That mother says to father: "How improved our Willie is!"
But father, havin' been a boy hisself, suspicions me
When, jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
For Christmas, with its lots an' lots of candies, cakes, an' toys,
Was made, they say, for proper kids an' not for naughty boys;
So wash yer face an' brush yer hair, an' mind yer p's an' q's,
An' don't bust out yer pantaloons, an' don't wear out yer shoes;
Say :Yessum" to the ladies, an' "Yessur" to the men,
An' when they's company, don't pass yer plate for pie again;
But, thinkin' of the things yer'd like to see upon that tree,
Jest 'fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!

THANKS to everyone who has sent a donation. Please think of
us for your holiday and end-of-year giving.
Here is all the new information, some reducancy,
as this just came in, and I am just pasting it in here:
HOW TO MAKE A DONATION TO PROJECT GUTENBERG
Project Gutenberg's success is due to the hard work of thousands of
volunteers over more than 30 years. Your donations make it possible
to support these volunteers, and pay our few employees to continue the
creation of free electronic texts.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of
Mississippi. PGLAF is approved as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization
by the US Internal Revenue Service, and has the Federal Employee
Information Number (EIN) 64-6221541.
More information about PGLAF is available. Visit
http://promo.net/pg/fundraising, or email the PGLAF's chief executive
officer (and volunteer), Dr. Gregory B. Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>
There are several ways to donate. We want you to make a donation in
the best way for you, so have tried to make it easy.
In summary, we can accept checks or money orders in any national
currency, wire transfer or electronic funds transfer, and credit
cards.
If you want to make a donation in a way that's not specified below,
please contact us!
1. Send a check or money order in US funds.
Our address is listed above:
2. Send a check or money order in non-US funds. This can go to the
same address as in #1 above. The bank sends non-US funds for
"collection" and a fee is charged. This fee is difficult to know in
advance, but usually seems to be a few dollars. The exchange rate to
US funds is at market value.
3. Use NetworkForGood. This is a Web site that accepts credit card
donations and does not charge overhead. Donation is simple, similar
to most online purchase transactions. A credit card with a mailing
address in the US is required.
The URL to donate is:
http://www.guidestar.org/partners/networkforgood/donate.jsp?ein=64-6221541
Your name, mailing address and email address are required, as well as
your credit card information. You can choose to prevent sending your
personal data to PGLAF (also see our Privacy Policy, below). Your
credit card information is NEVER sent to PGLAF.
On the donation form, you can specify a designation for a specific
purpose. Although PGLAF will receive these specifications, all
donations to PGLAF go to general operating funds.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.
NetworkForGood covers the normal transaction fees (up to about $2.50
per transaction) and credit card overhead (usually about 2% per
transaction), so 100% of your intended donation amount goes to PGLAF.
Your credit card statement will show "Network For Good" as the payee,
but 100% will go to PGLAF by electronic funds transfer to our bank
account.
4. Use PayPal. PayPal is a Web site that accepts credit card and bank
transfer payments. You need to set up a PayPal account to donate via
PayPal. This requires providing credit card and/or bank information.
Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
Visit http://www.paypal.com
To make a donation to PGLAF, login to your PayPal account and select
"Send Money." When prompted, specify "donate@gutenberg.net" as the
recipient, and you will be presented with PGLAF's information. Send
the payment as you would any other payment.
Funds go directly to PGLAF via PayPal.
The fee charged by PayPal for payments is 2.9% of the transaction plus
30 cents per transaction. (For a $100 payment, this amounts to $3.20
or 3.2%. For $10, the fee is $0.59 or 5.9%).
PayPal accepts non-US accounts and funds.
5. Wire transfer. There is a fixed fee of $15 to accept a wire
transfer to our bank account, which must be in US funds. For medium
and large donations, this may be more efficient than some other
methods. Email gbnewby@ils.unc.edu if you would like to set up a wire
transfer.
PRIVACY POLICY FOR DONATIONS
In order to meet IRS tax regulations, PGLAF keeps track of the names,
addresses, donation amounts and donation methods of non-anonymous
donors. We normally send a postal or email "thank you" letter when we
receive your donation.
We do not provide any information about donors to any party outside of
PGLAF and its employees for any purpose, except as required by law.
We will not send subsequent postal or electronic mail or attempt to
phone you. If you would like to subscribe to one of the Project
Gutenberg email lists, to receive the monthly or weekly newsletter,
please visit http://www.gutenberg.net for instructions.

and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/19/01**: 4,224
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 12/19/01: 50 Weeks & 2 Days (352 days)
1,175 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.44
Daily avg: 3.32
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,172 For 352 days,
this is 3.33 per day or 99.89 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,215 For The Year. . . .
We are about 50 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.
The 26th would be our last Newsletter, so I
am wondering if we missed counting a week.
52 x 7 = 364. . .so should always be 52 Wednesdays.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,200 etexts
on line.

[Are Copyright Royalties Only Paid By The "Have-Nots???]
GROUPS REACH TENTATIVE DEAL ON WEBCAST ROYALTIES
Attorneys representing radio broadcasters, record labels and music artists
have signed a tentative settlement in an ongoing dispute over whether radio
broadcasters owe additional royalty payments when they put their stations'
programming online. If the deal is finalized, it could be an important step
toward resolving the tangle of legal issues surrounding online music. Radio
companies currently do not pay recording firms royalties on songs they
broadcast over the airwaves and have argued that the exemption should apply
to online "Webcasts" as well. That issue is now on appeal. The current
agreement depends on the U.S. Copyright Office to support arbitration to
resolve the question of a royalty rate to be paid by Internet-only
Webcasters who offer music online but don't own any radio stations.

[Is This Fighting The New Bigshots Being Able To Buy In Cheap???]
HEWLETT URGES HP AND COMPAQ TO CALL OFF MERGER
Walter Hewlett, son of Hewlett-Packard co-founder William Hewlett, has sent
a letter to the boards of both HP and Compaq, urging them to call off their
$22.8-billion merger. "There is enormous unhappiness out there about this
transaction. This unhappiness goes far beyond those shareholders and
analysts that have spoken out publicly," said Hewlett in his letter. He
warned that by pushing ahead, HP and Compaq both would suffer "serious and
increasing adverse consequences^E Value is being lost here by both companies
with each day that passes. The market clearly agrees." Compaq's board on
Thursday said it strongly disagrees with Hewlett's conclusions and believes
that the merger would create long-term shareholder value. Meanwhile, HP
officials have suggested that Hewlett's opposition to the deal places him
in a conflict-of-interest position, and that he should consider resigning
from the HP board. (Financial Times 13 Dec 2001)

CONGRESS HAS LOW INTEREST IN CONSTITUENT (E-)MAIL
A test by a New York Times reporter found that e-mail sent to Congressional
offices is unlikely to be read. After sending messages to 65 Senate offices
identifying herself as a reporter for the Times doing a story on e-mail
message-handling by members of Congress, she received only 27 automated
response and 7 other responses within two weeks. One of seven full
responses was from Larry Neal, the deputy chief of staff for Senator Phil
Gramm of Texas, who explained: "The communication that Sen. Gramm values
most certainly does not arrive by wire. It is the one where someone sat
down at a kitchen table, got a sheet of lined paper and a No. 2 pencil, and
poured their heart into a letter." (New York Times 13 Dec 2001)

the Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader, is being released, but the U.S. government
will continue its prosecution of his employer, ElcomSoft of Moscow.

LINGUIST SAYS: RELAX ABOUT NETSPEAK
In his new book "Language and the Internet," Welsh linguist David Crystal
welcomes the way the Internet "shows language expanding richly in all sorts
of directions," including instant-message-abbreviations ("RUOK" for "Are
you okay?") and iconic abbreviations such as :) and its frowning, winking,
and various other cousins. "A whole new medium of communication does not
arrive very often in the history of the race. The Internet is a genuine
third medium of communication," which will in the future "probably be the
main way we humans communicate." He urges the language purists to relax,
let language develop naturally, and avoid being "depressingly
prescriptive." "If I leave out the punctuation in an e-mail, you don't say,
'Crystal doesn't know his grammar.' You say, 'Crystal's in a hurry.'" He
predicts that the conventions of Internet use will emerge on their own:
"We'll learn gradually what works and what doesn't, just as we've already
learned that if we type out a whole sentence in capital letters, it upsets
people." (New York Times 13 Dec 2001)

DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING FINDS LARGEST PRIME
A 20-year-old Canadian man has identified the world's largest prime number
using a desktop computer linked to a 210,000-machine quasi-supercomputer
distributed around the globe. Michael Cameron, a participant in the Great
Internet Mersenne Prime Search that uses the PrimeNet network system to
perform calculations, announced his discovery that "2 to the 13,466,917th
power minus 1" is the largest prime number. (Mersenne primes are named
after Marin Mersenne, a French monk born in 1588 who investigated a
particular type of prime number: 2 to the power of "p" minus one, in which
"p" is an ordinary prime number.) The concept of distributed computing is
not limited to the academic world. Companies such as Intel and Sun
Microsystems use it for designing microprocessors, and the idea is closely
linked to "grid" computing, which unites computers and storage systems into
a single pool of resources. (CNet News.com 13 Dec 2001)

[Remember What I've Been Saying About Pay-Per-View???]
CABLE LOOKS TO VOD FOR NEW REVENUE
Cable TV systems are set to turn up the volume on video-on-demand in 2002,
as they seek to boost profits while taking advantage of their
multi-billion-dollar investment in digital TV upgrades. "How many people
are interested in the couple of hundred extra channels (available on
digital cable)? They need something to drive digital, and that's going to
be VOD," says an analyst at CIBC Markets. Charter Communications is
currently the leader in rolling out VOD, offering the service in 12 markets
to approximately one-third of its 6.9 million customers. Charter's early
marketing studies show that, in addition to boosting demand for digital
services, VOD reduces churn -- the number of subscribers who drop the
service. "It's a real differentiator for us," says Charter VP Jim
Henderson. "It's not something that satellite (TV) can easily offer."
Analysts say cable's efforts to lure VOD subscribers could be a
double-edged sword. Cable firms have enough bandwidth and servers to
accommodate 10% of their subscribers ordering VOD at the same time, and a
surge in VOD demand would overwhelm cable network capacity. Cable's real
problem, however, remains access to content -- Hollywood studios are
demanding 60% of VOD revenue, as opposed to the traditional 50-50 split for
pay-per-view movies. So far, cable firms have struck deals with only Sony's
Columbia TriStar and Vivendi's Universal Pictures, although No. 2 cable
operator AOL Time Warner can count on its own stable of HBO programming and
other content for its planned subscription VOD service.

FREE CELL PHONE MINUTES DWINDLING
Free minutes -- one of the perks that's successfully enticed many people to
sign up for cell phone service -- are slowly being phased out, as carriers
look for ways to ease network congestion and introduce consistency to their
nationwide calling plans. Sprint PCS recently became the latest carrier to
shift the start time for its night calling period to 9 p.m. from 8 p.m.,
following similar moves in many markets by Cingular Wireless and Verizon
Wireless. The number of U.S. cell phone subscribers is nearly 130 million,
almost double the level three years ago, and companies say their success in
attracting users is also overloading their network capacity, causing more
dropped calls and busy signals. By moving the start of off-peak calling
back an hour, they're better able to keep residential and business traffic
from overlapping. (USA Today 11 Dec 2001)

CONGRESS FACES DEFINING ISSUE OVER COPYRIGHT LAW
Interactive Web radio stations may be granted the same licenses
other radio stations have if proposed changes to the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act are accepted by Congress. A House
Judiciary Committee will review the proposal, which the
Recording Industry Association of America opposes. Current law
limits the type of radio broadcasts that recording studios must
offer licenses to, and the Web broadcasters in the Digital Media
Association want to broaden that definition. Metrics firm
MeasureCast said the number of people listening to Internet
radio in October tripled since January, and Jupiter Media Metrix
has said 30 million consumers will have bought music online this year.

A WIN-WIN SITUATION DOWN AT THE LAB
Media Lab Europe (MLE), the counterpart of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology's Media Lab, has set up its own
venture capital arm to help distribute the benefits of
research evenly between inventors and corporate sponsors.
Companies provide the cash for the new Media Lab Ventures
group and share in the rewards. But, by providing open access
to funds, researchers have more freedom in their projects and
do not feel they must shield research that could potentially
be the base of their own startup company. As a result, MLE
chief executive Rudolf Burger expects more licenses to come
from the laboratory and fewer spinoffs that drain talent. MLE
was launched in 2000 by Nicholas Negroponte, who also set up
the U.S. Media Lab. He set up shop in Dublin, in return for
a $32 million grant from the Irish government, which is eager
to bolster foreign investment. (Financial Times, 17 December 2001)

E-TEXT FINDS ITS WAY ON CAMPUS
The University of Phoenix will stop using textbooks in favor
of online reading materials. The phase-out will be conducted
over a year, affecting 95,000 students nationwide. Students
will be required to pay $70 per course to access an online
reference library that provides reading materials, work books,
and syllabi. A pilot program was launched across its U.S.
campuses last month. "We were looking to create one-stop
shopping for our students, a way to pick up everything you
need with just a click of the mouse," said VP of U-P metro
Detroit Ted Blashak. Officials at Michigan's Oakland and Wayne
State universities are also debating the use of e-texts but
are waiting until publishers create delivery standards for
electronic learning materials.

GOVERNMENT E-CHIEFS WELCOME ONLINE CURRICULUM
The United Kingdom announced a new 50-million-pound national
e-learning project named Curriculum On-line. The government,
software firms, and public/private broadcasters will be involved
in the initiative. Curriculum On-line aims to provide online
teaching resources on all educational subjects. In addition, the
project would help boost U.K. broadband services, said E-Commerce
Minister Douglas Alexander. Teachers would be able to offer
customized education programs for each student, he said. A
five-point plan created for the undertaking includes a library
of e-learning materials, access to commercial products, funds
for purchasing digital resources, and a content advisory board.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/12/01**: 4,201
(This number includes the 30 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 12/12/01: 49 Weeks & 2 Days (345 days)
1,142 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.31
Daily avg: 3.31
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,142 For 345 days,
this is 3.30 per day or 99.30 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,208 For The Year. . . .
We are about 49 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768.
In this issue, we're announcing #4228
***
The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

--=={ ETEXT "COST" $$$: }==--
With 4,201 eTexts online as of December 12, it now takes an average of
100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $2.38 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One
Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $2.46 when we had 4059 Etexts on November 1.
This "cost" is down from $2.53 when we had 3951 Etexts on October 3.

FIELD TRIPS TO THE LOUVRE, MINUS THE BUS
The Louvre museum, Pages Jaunes (the French Yellow Pages), and the
French Ministry of Education have collaborated on louvre.edu, a Web
site that allows students to take a virtual tour of the museum from
their classroom computers. Over 3,000 works of art and 350 exhibit
halls have been brought online. With louvre.edu, students can learn
not only about artwork, but also how to use the Internet. This is
especially important in a country where only 20 percent of
households have online access. The Web site was created in response
to a mandate from Prime Minister Lionel Jospin to make the Web
accessible to French schools and administrative offices. The site
features a cyberdesk where students can store artwork for easy
reference. The site's appeal is not restricted to art classes:
Teachers of ancient civilizations and languages are supplementing
their material with connections to louvre.edu

GUT CHANGE: E-BOOK RETREAT AT AOL TIME WARNER
This past August, AOL Time Warner books division chairman Laurence
Kirschbaum acknowledged that demand for e-books was a little slow but that
his gut told him things would be all right: "It is taking longer than
expected, but everything in my gut says now is the time to push harder
rather than slow down." But now the company is laying off almost all of the
29 employees in the e-book division. Mr. Kirschbaum says: "At some point
reality sets in and one has to be realistic about how much of an uphill
climb this is going to be. I have been wrong so far -- I have been
overoptimistic from the beginning, so at a certain point you have to
question whether your logic is sound." (New York Times 5 Dec 2001)

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

Project Gutenberg depends on leverage, the leverage of using the Internet
to multiply the efforts of our few thousand volunteers to get that effort
to a few hundred million people. Your efforts through Project Gutenberg,
simple as though they may appear. . .typing, scanning, proofreading or an
assortment of other pieces required to get eBooks to the masses. . .are a
powerful beacon to people all over the world.
People ask me how I managed to keep working on Project Gutenberg during a
long initial period of 17 years before anyone ever had any response other
than that it was crazy to put Shakespeare in a computer. . .the answer is
that I could see every word I typed being read by 100,000,000 people.
Your work, on your favorite books, is VERY likely to reach 100,000,000 in
today's world, and even more likely in the world of tomorrow. Recently I
noted in our Newsletter that the world population has reached 6 billion--
meaning that we only had to reach 1.67% of the population to have reached
our target audience of 100,000,000 people. When Project Gutenberg began,
the population was around 3.678 billion, which meant we would need to get
our eTexts to 2.72% of the population to reach 100,000,000 people and the
percentange we need to reach to achieve our goal of 100,000,000 people is
continuing to drop, and will be closer to 1% than to 2% before population
is recorded at 6.7 billion, probably before we reach 2009.
Thus, even if your work only reaches 1% of the population, you will still
be able to reach 100,000,000 people. . .Wow! Talk About Leverage!!!!!!!
So. . .think about this while you are creating eBooks for the world. . .a
little effort on your part, perhaps spread out over days, weeks, or, even
months or years, could easily bring advancements in literacy, information
and the general standard of living to ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.
That, in a nutshell, is the goal of Project Gutenberg.
For the first time, we have produced 1,000 eBooks in a single year, which
means we have to become even better at supporting you, our volunteers. I
welcome your suggestions and your efforts as to how to accomplish this.
Wishing You The Very Best Of New Years For 2002!
Michael S. Hart
Founder

Col Choat has moved his Project Gutenberg of Australia website
from: http://au.geocities.com/gutenberg_au/
to: http://gutenberg.net.au/
Here's more information from Project Gutenberg of Australia:
Project Gutenberg of Australia
Here in Oz we are celebrating the launch of our permanent PG site,
gutenberg.net.au, after being temporarily located at au.geocities.com
for a time.
We have 26 books listed which are in the public domain in Australia so
why not drop in and have a look! We also have listed all of the PG
etexts (from both the US and Oz sites) which were written by
Australians or which relate (loosely) to Australia.
Books enter the public domain in Australia 50 years after the author's
death, provided they were published during the author's lifetime. For
translations, the same rules apply to the person translating.
Therefore, we only need to be satisfied that the author died at least
50 years ago and that the work was published during his/her
lifetime. Copyright cannot be renewed or revived by subsequent
publication, nor does a copyright held by a person other than the
author have any validity in such cases.
Of course, works which are in the public domain in Australia may
remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not download, or
read online, such books if they are in a country where copyright
protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death. The
author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.
If you require more information or would like to submit an etext,
contact Col Choat at colc@gutenberg.net.au.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/04/01**: 4,161
(This number includes the 27 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 11/28/01: 48 Weeks & 2 Days (338 days)
1,103 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 22.98
Daily avg: 3.26
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,103 For 338 days,
this is 3.26 per day or 98.04 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,190 For The Year. . . .
We are about 48 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.

Project Gutenberg depends on leverage, the leverage of using the Internet
to multiply the efforts of our few thousand volunteers to get that effort
to a few hundred million people. Your efforts through Project Gutenberg,
simple as though they may appear. . .typing, scanning, proofreading or an
assortment of other pieces required to get eBooks to the masses. . .are a
powerful beacon to people all over the world.
People ask me how I managed to keep working on Project Gutenberg during a
long initial period of 17 years before anyone ever had any response other
than that it was crazy to put Shakespeare in a computer. . .the answer is
that I could see every word I typed being read by 100,000,000 people.
Your work, on your favorite books, is VERY likely to reach 100,000,000 in
today's world, and even more likely in the world of tomorrow. Recently I
noted in our Newsletter that the world population has reached 6 billion--
meaning that we only had to reach 1.67% of the population to have reached
our target audience of 100,000,000 people. When Project Gutenberg began,
the population was around 3.678 billion, which meant we would need to get
our eTexts to 2.72% of the population to reach 100,000,000 people and the
percentange we need to reach to achieve our goal of 100,000,000 people is
continuing to drop, and will be closer to 1% than to 2% before population
is recorded at 6.7 billion, probably before we reach 2009.
Thus, even if your work only reaches 1% of the population, you will still
be able to reach 100,000,000 people. . .Wow! Talk About Leverage!!!!!!!
So. . .think about this while you are creating eBooks for the world. . .a
little effort on your part, perhaps spread out over days, weeks, or, even
months or years, could easily bring advancements in literacy, information
and the general standard of living to ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.
That, in a nutshell, is the goal of Project Gutenberg.
For the first time, we have produced 1,000 eBooks in a single year, which
means we have to become even better at supporting you, our volunteers. I
welcome your suggestions and your efforts as to how to accomplish this.
Wishing You The Very Best Of New Years For 2002!
Michael S. Hart
Founder

1,103 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 22.98
Daily avg: 3.26
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,103 For 338 days,
this is 3.26 per day or 98.04 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,190 For The Year. . . .
We are about 48 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

EXCITE SEVERS AT&T USERS, CUTS TENTATIVE DEALS WITH CABLES
Excite@Home cut off 850,000 subscribers to AT&T's high-speed Internet
service, casting doubt on AT&T's plan to buy Excite's network assets. The
move came Friday after negotiations for a new service agreement collapsed,
following a bankruptcy court ruling earlier in the day that allowed Excite
to cancel such contracts with the cable operators that used its network.
Meanwhile, negotiations with Cox Communications and Comcast continued, and
service to their customers wasn't disrupted. Both companies have now signed
a non-binding letter of agreement that ensures Excite will continue to
carry their customers until they can migrate them to their own broadband
networks. Cox had announced plans last week to build its own network, but
said it could take some time until all its customers could be moved.
Charter Communications was able to transfer 90% of its Excite customers to
its own network and will resume talks with Excite to establish an interim
contract to service Charter's 14,000 customers in Washington and Oregon,
who have not yet been switched over. AT&T says it has now restored service
to some 225,000 customers by moving them onto its own network, and the
company says it could take as long as 10 days to fully restore service to
its other subscribers. Competitors were quick to seize advantage of the
confusion -- Qwest announced it could migrate AT&T customers to its own
network and give them $300 in free services, and Covad offered a special
promotion to Excite@Home customers to use their dialup services while
waiting for their DSL installation. DirecTV made a similar offer.

EXCITE THREATENS TO CUT OFF BROADBAND SERVICE
More than a third of all U.S. residential broadband users face having their
service cut off at the end of this week unless a dispute between the cable
companies offering the service and Excite@Home, which provides the network,
is resolved. Excite's creditors have asked a California bankruptcy judge to
shut down the service if the cable companies that rely on Excite's network
don't agree to change their contracts with the company. Excite's biggest
customers are AT&T, Comcast and Cox. The creditors have also demanded that
AT&T, which controls Excite, increase its bid for Excite's network assets
from $307 million to more than $1 billion. More than 3 million U.S. homes
with broadband access rely on Excite's service. (Financial Times 28 Nov 2001)

a privately operated genealogy Web site that can now be used to retrieve
such personal data as someone's place of birth or mother's maiden name --
information frequently used as identifying information for purposes of
accessing bank accounts and making various kinds of financial transactions.
State Senator Jackie Spier (D, San Mateo) warns: "The time has come for us
to recognize that identity theft has become a big problem. The fact that
this information is public should raise a red flag." (San Jose Mercury News

GOVERNMENT ALREADY MONITORING MODEMS
Administration officials have revealed that they are making good
use of the new electronic surveillance powers granted them under
the USA Patriot Act recently signed into law. Speaking at a
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, assistant attorney general
Michael Chertoff said the new powers to obtain information
without court order have allowed the Justice Department to
investigate more thoroughly. He added that the new law also was
helping to bring law enforcement and intelligence investigations
closer together. Cable modem users can now be monitored without
requiring the permission of a judge. Section 211 of the act
alters federal law so that cable operators can disclose
subscribers' personally identifiable information to government
agencies. Chertoff said the government also has the power to
obtain court orders for logging information from out-of-district
ISPs. (Wired News, 28 November 2001)

WHY COPYRIGHT LAWS HURT CULTURE
Speaking at the Darklight Digital Film Festival in Dublin,
Stanford technology law professor Lawrence Lessig said that
American copyright laws no longer serve artists, acting instead
for the advantage of copyright holders. This control is causing
culture and intellectual history to decline and is stifling
technological innovation, he concluded. People now need
permission to create derivative works of copyrighted material,
shifting the power to build culture into the hands of the
property owners, Lessig said. He believes digital and Internet
technologies have the potential to diversify and open up culture,
giving artists more control over their creations and breaking
the power of monopolistic companies. Already, corporate copyright
"hoarders" are fighting technological breakthroughs such as
peer-to-peer communications programs that bypass copyright
controls, Lessig noted. Furthermore, Lessig declared that the
younger generation of "netizens" is characterized by indifference
and non-involvement in politics, significantly handicapping
efforts to change the system. (Wired News, 27 November 2001)
WINDOWS XP FAILS TO SPARK DEMAND FOR PCS
Microsoft's Windows XP operating system has not spurred PC sales,
which are currently in the doldrums due to the economic slump and
the war against terrorism. Consumers and businesses are waiting
for the economy to bounce back before they purchase new systems.
NPD Intelect estimates that PC sales experienced a 1 percent
increase in the week following the debut of XP and a 2 percent
increase the following week before falling behind. Analysts are
not expecting holiday sales to be much of an improvement. Gartner
expects the majority of business PCs to be running Windows 2000
next year, while only 16 percent will be running Windows XP.
Nevertheless, PC manufacturers and retailers are planning to
boost sales by offering special deals to shoppers who purchase
systems with Windows XP. (USA Today, 26 November 2001)
RED HAT COUNTERS MICROSOFT'S EDUCATION OFFER
Microsoft has proposed settling over 100 private antitrust
lawsuits by pledging to donate more than $1 billion in hardware,
software, services, and training to the poorest schools in the
United States, but Red Hat has put forward a counter-proposal. It
will offer its open-source Red Hat Linux operating system to all
U.S. school districts free of charge, and has suggested that
Microsoft concentrate solely on purchasing new hardware. In this
way, more computers could be made available to schools and
Microsoft's monopoly would not be extended further into the
education sector, says Red Hat CEO Matt Szulik. He estimates
that over one million computers could be allocated to schools
under the new proposal, compared to 200,000 under the old one. In
addition, Szulik says that Red Hat will provide free software
upgrades and license renewals in perpetuity, whereas Microsoft
would only provide such services for five years.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.

Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.

Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
