If you distribute the FAQ outside of BOC-L, then please do remove
the references to the lyrics archive.  Or, if you will, create an
edited version of the FAQ for distribution outside BOC-L, which
does not include a mention of the lyrics archive.

I am not particularly worried that any music industry legal drone
would even know how to check the site, much less bother to do so.  I
think it's only if you wave the copyright violation in their faces
(like, by telling everyone about it) that they will feel compelled to
take action.

Thanks, John.  I think we both want the same thing here - for the
archive to continue to be available.
