<html><body><p>Slashdot does give you a good laugh sometimes. There's <a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/01/1138225">an interesting story</a> there about music copyright infringement back at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. The story mentions that the publishers fought the infringement - which was basically unauthorized copies of sheet music being sent by mail - by asking the Post Office not to send the unauthorized copies.

Some wag gave the story the 'deeppacketinspection' tag. I like that :)</p></body></html>
