I had the same experience with my BSDCon paper about FreeBSD Update; net-security.org misappropriated it (and even managed to get a link from the news section of the FreeBSD website). Now, they did remove it about 6 hours after I complained, but they didn't really seem to understand that republishing my paper without my permission was illegal. Meanwhile, fma.com seems to have decided to squat on daemonology.com, in reaction to my use of the .net. A waste of $10/year (or whatever domain registration costs these days) if you ask me; most people can't even *spell* daemonology, let alone enter the .com by mistake. Colin Percival
