I found these links and thought they were very interesting. It shows the direction we were headed in as far back as the early 70's and late 60's:

And this was highly interesting but i'm just not sure how to find the actual trial records from this case so that I can find the dates that he posted a playboy picture for download. He was arrested in 1993 by the FBI for piracy and part of the charge was for having this photo available on the bbs but it doesn't say what dates the photo was available: http://www.pixi.com/~irvdili/page-22.htm

OH Yeah, and there is this one also. I think this is really promising:
New NODELIST Distribution Method
by Ben Baker, Fido 100/76

Maybe you haven't noticed, but the nodelist is becoming
quite large. If there is no satellite link, it takes about four
and a half minutes to transmit NODELIST.A59 at 2400 baud, and
nearly eight minutes at 1200 baud. It took OVER eight minutes at
2400 baud to send it via satellite to Hawaii!

We now have about eight hundred nodes in the nodelist. If
we assume an average of six minutes transmission time per node,
that's about eighty hours a week to distribute a new nodelist to
everybody! If only ten per cent is long distance, that's still a
non-trivial sum we're giving Ma Bell each week! In order to
reduce the overhead of nodelist distribution, we are making a
change to the distribution format.

NODELIST.A73 will be a particularly fat nodelist archive
file. It will contain some extra files which are very important
to you. The complete contents of the file are as follows:

COORD.073
NODELIST.073
NODEDIFF.073
EDITNL.ARC consisting of
EDITNL.COM
EDITNL.DOC

NODEDIFF.073 will be a file which represents the differences
between NODELIST.066 and NODELIST.073 in a rather simplistic edit
command format. EDITNL is the program which can construct
NODELIST.073 from NODELIST.066 and NODEDIFF.073. It will be
instructive to compare the sizes of the NODELIST and NODEDIFF
files.
