Defunct Industry Standard Magazine Lives On In Spam 02/28/02

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, U.S.A., 2002 FEB 28 (NB) -- By Brian McWilliams,
Newsbytes. Subscribers to The Industry Standard haven't received the
new-economy magazine for months since it shut down last August. But
they could be getting junk e-mail and other solicitations as a
result of their subscription for years to come, thanks to AOL's Time
[NYSE:AOL] unit.

In what may be an effort to monetize its investment, Time has
apparently begun renting the magazine's subscriber list, which it
reportedly picked up for $500,000 at a bankruptcy auction last
September.
