"The Head of the Dragon"
From the October 1985 issue, as quoted in Strange Bedfellows (APA) #11 (November 1995):
ABOUT PROD. COMPANIES MONITORING WHAT'S ON THE NET: This is an excerpt from the October 85 newsletter OBSERVATION DOME from JMS's comments about a fan's very stupid action: "[This is an excerpt from an open letter to a fan who went straight to Warner Bros, about fans selling/trading copies of episodes on the Internet. JMS wanted everyone to know that WB is watching the "nets" carefully now.] ...It's a breach of the ethics of this system to send postings by others, myself included, to the people at WB....we were already "handling" the issue, were already dealing with it. Until that moment, I referred matters of concern to those empowered to act, at the proper, lower-level areas. What your letter did was to embroil the two heads of WB, who until that moment didn't know the system much existed. And now folks from legal affairs regularly monitor the nets. Because you poked the head of the dragon."
