Great minds think alike. I'm in the process of doing EXACTLY this. The
kicker is twofold:
1). USWorst, or some other carrier, needs to make DSL service available in
my area so I can put my domain on the air.
2). I'm concerned about copyright violation, even on the older stuff. The
one thing I absolutely cannot deal with is a lawsuit!

Ahhhhh... now THAT might get me around the copyright issues! Set it up
such that only the folks who own equipment that can use the images can get
