Folks, in the 2.11 news distribution, there was included in the "doc" subdirectory a file called copyright.mn. That file started out as an article posted to misc.legal over a year ago concerning the nature of copyright. It destroyed, mercifully, a lot of the myth, legend, and general crap that floats around this network concerning the nature of copyright, having been written by an attorney named Jordan J. Breslow, who has experience in these matters. I think all of us on the network would be greatly pleased if anyone wanting to voice an opinion on copyrights would go re-read that document first. -=- Karl
