I would love to see CompuServe try to enforce this one on some systems that I am on, and/or the one I run. I know for a fact that a number of things on certain sections of CompuServe were on my bbs, or others', first. I wonder what they would think if we instituted a compliation copyright and sued CompuServe for blatantly violating it.
