INTRODUCTION These Operating Rules are part of the terms of your Service
Agreement with CRC, and you are bound by them.  CRC may modify these rules
at any time without notice to subscriber.

CRC COPYRIGHT The entire contents of the Service are copyrighted as a
collective work under the United States Copyright laws.  The copying,
redistribution, or publication of any part of the Service is prohibited,
except as expressly provided below.

Each subscriber who places information, software or other content, in the
public areas of the Service grants CRC the right to edit, copy, publish,
distribute, and translate such information, software or other content.
Subject to this grant, each subscriber who places information, software or
other content on the Service retains any rights subscriber may have in such
information, software or other content.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Copyrighted material must not be placed on the Service
without the permission of the owner(s) or person(s) they specifically
authorize.  Only the owner(s) or such authorized person(s) may upload
copyrighted material to the Service.

Subscribers may download copyrighted material for their own use.  Except as
expressly provided by copyright law, copying, redistribution, or
publication must be with the express permission of CRC and the owner(s) or
such authorized person(s), if other than CRC.  Permission must be specified
in the document, on the Service, or must be obtained directly from CRC and
the owner(s) or such authorized persons(s), if other than CRC.  In any
copying, redistribution, or publication of copyrighted material, any
changes to or deletion of author attribution or copyright notice are
prohibited.

PUBLIC DOMAIN MATERIAL Any subscriber may upload public domain programs to
the Service.  Any subscriber may download public domain programs for their
own use or non-commercially redistribute a public domain program.
Subscriber assumes all risks regarding the determination of whether a
program is in the public domain.

CONTENT & USES OF THE SERVICE Subscriber agrees not to publish on or over
the Service any information, software or other content which violates or
infringes upon the rights of any others or which would be abusive, profane
or sexually offensive to an average person, or which, without the approval
of CRC, contains any advertising or any solicitation of other subscribers
to use goods or services.  This paragraph, however, shall not be
interpreted to restrict subscriber from utilizing CRC Email in the conduct
of a legitimate business except that subscriber may not, without the
approval of CRC, send unsolicited advertising or promotional material to
other CRC subscribers.

Subscriber agrees not to use the facilities and capabilities of the Service
to conduct any business or activity or solicit the performance of any
activity which is prohibited by law or to solicit subscribers to become
subscribers of other competitive information services.

EDITING AND DELETING CONTENT CRC reserves the right in its sole discretion
to edit or delete any information, software or other content appearing on
the Service, regardless of whether it violates the standards for content.

SERVICE TERMINATION CRC reserves the right in its sole discretion to
suspend or terminate Service to any subscriber at any time for any reason
whatsoever without recourse from subscriber.

INDEMNIFICATION Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold SPI and CRC
harmless from any claims and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
fees, related to subscriber's violation of the Terms of Service, including
these rules or any information, software or other content placed on the
Service by the subscriber.

STANDARD PRICING PLAN Multiple subscribers of the same household may share
a single User ID.  However, only one person is authorized to access the
Service at any given time on one User ID.

Subscriber agrees that the flat price structure is offered to accommodate
normal nonbusiness, noncommercial needs of the individual user.  In the
event that a subscriber's usage of the Service is deemed excessive in any
30 day period, or CRC determines that the subscriber is utilizing the
Service for business or commercial purposes, CRC may require a subscriber
to pay for the Service based upon an hourly rate for subsequent use of the
Service.

COMPILATION COPYRIGHT CRC has copyrighted the contents of the Concentric
Network (SiriusNet) as a compilation copyright, just as many magazines and
newspapers reserve such a copyright on the contents of their publications.
This copyright is held in accordance with the 1976 Copyright Act of the
United States.

A compilation copyright is granted when an organization collects
information in a lawful way, adds value to it, and offers it to others.  In
this case, SiriusNet is a value-added product;  CRC has committed
substantial financial resources to collecting more than 10,000 areas on the
service and offering them in an organized, structured way to a defined user
base through a nationwide telecommunications network.

The compilation copyright is intended to protect that substantial
investment from unauthorized exploitation.  This does NOT mean that CRC
assumes ownership of individual programs and databases provided to the
system by subscribers or information providers.

CRC's compilation copyright does NOT supersede individual ownership rights
or copyrights to any of the material furnished to the Service by
subscribers or information providers.

It should be noted, however, that CRC cannot grant any redistribution
rights for materials copyrighted by another author, unless specifically
authorized to do so, CRC does not own the material or the copyright.  These
rights must be obtained directly from the author.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CRC does not allow copyrighted material to be placed
on SiriusNet without the author's permission.  Only the owner(s) or persons
they specifically authorize may upload copyrighted material to the Service.

Any subscriber may download copyrighted material for their own use.  Any
subscriber may also non-commercially redistribute a copyrighted program
with the expressed permission of the owner or authorized person.
Permission must be specified in the document, on the Service, or must be
obtained directly from the author.  PUBLIC DOMAIN

Any subscriber may upload public domain programs to the Service.  Any
subscriber may download public domain programs for their own use or non-
commercially redistribute a public domain program.

SHAREWARE Only the owner or an authorized person may upload shareware
programs.  Any subscriber may download shareware programs for their own
use, subject to the terms provided by the owner.  Any subscriber may non-
commercially redistribute a shareware program subject to the provided terms
explicitly displayed in the software itself, or with permission of the
owner or authorized person.

Public domain information and shareware programs are uploaded to SiriusNet
data libraries by their authors for use by other SiriusNet subscribers.

In keeping with the spirit of the development of public domain information
and shareware, it is not CRC's current policy to prevent casual
redistribution of this type of information -- this is low volume and low
frequency use or redistribution of information where no commercialism is
involved.  This means that a subscriber may download a file and share it
with others for no commercial gain -- either via a bulletin board service,
diskette, or other means.

A subscriber may not, however, download a large number of files for
redistribution via any means, nor is it acceptable for a subscriber to
update another bulletin board regularly with files obtained from SiriusNet.

It's important to note that CRC cannot grant redistribution rights for
programs clearly copyrighted by the author, unless specifically authorized
to do so.  Such permission must be obtained directly from the author of the
program.

Commercial exploitation of material contained on SiriusNet is specifically
prohibited by the Terms of Service, to which each subscriber agrees before
being permitted to access the Service.  Therefore, subscribers cannot
lawfully download and redistribute public information or shareware programs
for personal gain.

In addition, mass redistribution of public domain information or shareware
is also prohibited.  Mass distribution is defined as high frequency and/or
high volume transfers.

When a situation involving exploitation is brought to CRC's attention, we
investigate and, if warranted, remind the violator of the Terms of Service
Terms.  If subsequent violations are reported, access to SiriusNet may be
terminated for the violator and, in extreme cases, a letter is sent from
our legal counsel asking that he or she cease and desist, or risk further
legal action.

This is done as a positive step to protect the value and use of the
material for SiriusNet subscribers, and to discourage unauthorized
redistribution of that material.
