I really don't think small, hobby Muds are anything remotely the same.  As
you mentioned, there is (usually) no money involved.  If the case goes
against AOL, I don't see how it could be applied to hobby Muds.  Granted, I
ain't a lawyer, but contrary to popular belief, a large chunk of law is
grounded in something resembling common sense.


Just my $0.02
