There have been ongoing discussions, speculations, and "I'm not
a lawyer but..." remarks running around this and other groups.
I'm not entirely sure how much copyright law a news administrator
needs to know, but I do know how you can get appropriate advice
and representation.
I am personally involved in an about-to-conclude matter which will
be in my favor because I sought and found good representation. The
infringer used a general practitioner and got shredded. I'm not
advertising that, just establishing my presence on the firing line
which should give me a little credibility.
There is a group of lawyers, I got mine (world class!) from it, they
specialize in the law surrounding computers. It's
Computer Law Association
8303 Arlington Boulevard, Suite 210
Fairfax, Virginia 22031 (703) 560-7747
As I have said before, I don't think a news administrator needs this
caliber of assistance, but the amateurs keep preaching and speculating.
I suggest the above if you're in real need. 'Nuff said. Oh, I forgot
to mention, $150/hr is going rate for a "real" one, very reasonable if
you need one.
