agree with everything Greg & Larry said. And the debate is not about
whether anyone is harmed or makes money, it's about Mark & Sergio's
EXCLUSIVE right to decide when and how Groo is published. And there just
isn't any room for debate on this point. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the other things Seth brings up, the recording industry is analogous. You
shouldn't tape music and give it to friends or accept them. Eric
is probably the only one who hasn't violated this somewhere along the
line. But that doesn't mean it's OK and the idea of doing something simlar
to friends like Sergio & Mark only brings home the fact that it's
wrong. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
