Read the
official statement here BTW does anybody knows of 'Leonard Kleinrock' described as "one of the original founders of the Internet" in the article and an expert witness ?" I wonder whether the mimeograph machine would survive if it was invented today.
Just post a news article on /. every day and the load will crash the server... LEGAL DOS! :)

Unfortunately the RIAA page is /.'ed. Great way to use that Berman-Coble DOS self-help!
I opened 10 tabs of the page in Mozilla just in case.

The ability to ping yourself does not prove you're on the Internet. That's just incestuous narcissism.
