top ten lists

Now here's a weird case of the Internet interacting with more extablished media. What this guy was doing was electronicly distributing Dave Letterman's Top Ten list every night. He wasn't getting them in advance or anything -- he was just typing them in after the fact. Looks like he woke up one morning, realized he had 25,000 subscribers (!), and started to worry about all those big bad lawyers at CBS. (Or maybe CBS woke up one morning...)
If CBS is smart, they'll realize what good advertising this is for them, and let him continue.

Reply-To: Late Show Top Ten List mailing list
Greetings,
I'm sad to announce that the TOP-TEN listserv will be going off the air temporarily. Since the list has grown to over 25 thousand subscribers (making it one of, if not the, largest listserv lists in existence) we are reviewing our legal status with CBS and have decided to suspend transmissions of the list until we receive confirmation from them that we may continue. Once we are given the green light once again we plan to send out all of the lists that you may miss during our absence. Once again, I regret that this has become necessary. The listserv will still be functioning during the interim accepting subscribe and unsubscribe requests. With a little luck, we'll have the lists going out again soon!
Also, listserv began sending out renewal messages to subscribers who have been on the list for 3 months or more last night but we have suspended the renewal process until we resume sending out the lists each day. You may safely ignore the renewal notice, contrary to what it says, you will not be removed from the list if you don't forward it back. Renewals will resume when we begin distributing the list again.
Stanley
