One way to prevent yahoo from picking up on this stuff might be to
place anything sensitive within an password protected zip file (which
you'd have to mail one of the mod's to get)
making the password fairly long would make it uncrackable
I'm suprised at the fact that playmouse was taken down simply because
a lot of the art wasn't based on copyright characters
(I think some was in there, but not a lot, certainly not as much as
some of the other groups such as Foxglove Free or Gadget Hackwrench
groups)
The mouse on the home screen (melisa I think her name was) I've
certainly never seen on the TV. although that would make a welcome
change ;)
I do think there was a lot more artwork and files in gerneral stored
in that group with a lot more members
so perhaps yahoo used the few 'sensitive' pictures on there as an
excuse to shut it down and save on bandwidth
(I think one of the reasons they made the photos appear small was to
save on bandwidth, and to make money)
