Some may be. The ones I mentioned are available to download and watch. I'm not
sure about passing on freely. Certainly if one sold them the posting entity
would want a cut of the lolly.

I do sometimes watch TeeVee shows, etc. even though I have not had my actual
television turned on since the last Formula One race that I watched - and if I
stream them to my computer, given the herky-jerky nature of my DSL connection
filling the buffer and showing that, then waiting for the next bit it is more
pleasing to my sensibilities if I capture the stream and play it back all in
one continuous spasm.

 ML> Interesting, and it answers a question I was about to ask.

Not me the film/dvd/entertainment distributors in an effort to milk every last

I have no idea - I did a cit and paste from an article on DRM. I see it has
made it just as far as your reply and seems not to be in this answer.  <SHRUG>

Hmmmmmm ... I went and read the reply to you and it seems that the û, which
appears in my editor as a lower-case "u" with a caret accent sign over it comes
out in Multi-mail as the square-root dingus. Highlighting the character and
searching the menu of Notepad++ (my editor) gives no joy. In the original from
which I cut & pasted the space occupied now by û was a dash. " - "

      Title: Celery Root Bisque w/Peppered Croutons
 Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Dairy, Breads, Poultry
      Yield: 8 servings

      6 tb Butter; unsalted
      1 lg Onion; chopped
      3    Celery ribs; w/leaves,
           - sliced
  2 1/4 lb Celery root; peeled, coarse
           - chopped
      2 md Russet potatoes; peeled,
           - coarse chopped
      2 lg Parsnip; peeled, coarse
           - chopped
      5 c  Chicken stock or broth
      1    Bay leaf
      4    Thyme sprigs; fresh
           +=OR=+ 
      1 ts Thyme; dried, crumbled
    1/2 ts White pepper
    1/4 ts Coriander seeds
      2 c  Spinach leaves
    1/2 c  Whipping cream

PEPPERED CROUTONS
      4 c  French bread; in 1" cubes
      2 tb Olive oil
    1/2 ts (ea) fresh ground pepper &
           - salt

  MAKE THE CROUTONS: In a baking pan toss the bread
  cubes with the oil, the pepper, and the salt and
  toast them in the middle of a preheated 350øF/175øC
  oven, tossing them occasionally, for 15 minutes, or
  until they are golden. The croutons may be made 2
  days in advance, cooled, and kept in an airtight
  container.

  Melt butter in heavy large non-aluminum pot over
  medium heat.  Add onion and celery and saute until
  slightly softened, about 5 minutes.  Add celery roots,
  potatoes and parsnips and saute 5 minutes.  Add 3 cups
  stock, bay leaf, thyme, white pepper and coriander.
  Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover partially and simmer
  until vegetables are very soft, about 25 minutes.

  Discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Add spinach to
  soup and cook until just wilted, stirring
  occasionally, about 2 minutes.
   
  Place soup in batches in processor. Return soup to
  pot. Add cream and remaining 2 cups stock and simmer
  15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt
  and white pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.
  Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before
  continuing.)
   
  Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with croutons and
  serve.
   
  "The Irish excel with root vegetables, and every home
  garden seems to boast lush rows of celeriac, parsnips,
  turnips, leeks, rutabagas, and potatoes. This savory
  bisque is a subtle and suave use of the humble and
  often ignored celery root. Along with glasses of
  sherry, it makes a great beginning to an elegant
  celebration of St. Patrick.  Spinach leaves add pretty
  green color to the bisque."
