I realize that this is a late reply to this note, but I think that it
pertains to the most recent thread regarding copyrights. Daniel if you
meant it when you wrote it and if you still mean it, perhaps this would
be a good time to help direct the activities of Jonathan and others.
If they are going to contact the copyright owners of the copyrighted
material that is on Crosswire (in order to confirm their former
permission) as representing Crosswire, I think it might be wise to
create "official" correspondence for this matter.

I'm of two minds on this issue. On the one hand, I object to the idea
of your taking over copyright duties because I fear that you don't
know what a huge task you're taking on and that you'll eventually quit
the project altogether. :) But if you really think you want to do
this, I don't object.
In the meantime, if anyone here is thinking of sending any letters or
emails to copyright holders please don't. As Barry says, it is
counterproductive. Contact me with what you want to say and if it is
appropriate I will decide what to do.
Yes, please don't. It makes us look bad. I think I'm on record as
having that position and being of the opinion that the whole premise
behind the copyright page, as it stands now, is horrible. I'm unaware
of any time that any letter writing campaign to release content has
succeeded.
And the little "locked" links on the website should definitely go
away. They're incredibly confusing to users and misrepresent the
actual state of affairs.
