JSH: You're screwing Usenet too

Usenet gives a lot of freedoms cheaply, but a lot of this case now is about public statements made on Usenet and what impact they may have had.

I can put a dollar amount on that and then consider civil litigation options.

What I have is mathematical research easily shown to be different than what was known before, like my prime counting function while similar to previous results is a multi-dimensional one that leads to a partial differential equation.

So, say that is put in front of a jury in a civil litigation and what is your defense?

Mathematicians on trial in front of ordinary citizens asked to look at some mathematics that counts primes, where I can not only take some of you posting on Usenet to court, but journal editors as well.

And there is the possibility of court ordered turning over of who made postings anonymously or using pseudonyms, as well as the possibility of an international turn to this thing with a team of attorneys going after posters and journals in other countries.

ALL I'd have to do is convince some attorneys that there is a case here.

And Usenet itself could change, paying the price for what you people have done.
