TGIF: @ This, Mr. Lucht!

According to an August 17 article in "The Register" Robert-Alan Lucht has been sending out invoices for electronic publishing licensing rights to the "@" symbol. Fancy that, just 10 bucks a year will keep you out of court for all of those infringing e-mail messages.

Like the IPKat, I too am part appalled, and part entranced. "This ploy would appear to set new standards for brazen chutzpah," the 'Kat purred while directing fellow fanciers on the prowl for Internet scams to ScamBusters.org. MeeOuch!
