Hi: Say, Fritz, does your organization have any resources that the webcasters 
can tap into, in anticipation of the assault being waged upon them?  We have 
guidance from the Creative Commons Project, but not sure what your 
organization does in the face of all this.  For example, I have begun to 
irritate the you-know-what out of a couple journalists, by putting them on my 
cc list for pertinent messages.  Do you folks have a list of media that 
should be cognizant of happenings, as they occur?
Thanks,
Tom
