[steven arterberry]

Not only is chain pulling going on, but the puller is profoundly flawed in his understanding of copyright law.

>> To the "brain" children howling about copyrighted material:
>>
>> "Copyright protection begins when any of the above described work is
>actually created and fixed in a tangible form.
>>
>> For example, my brother is a musician and he lives in the United States.
>When he writes new lyrics, he prints them out on paper, signs his name at
>the bottom with the Copyright ï¿1/2 symbol to show that he is the author,
>>
>> "places it in an envelope and mails it to himself without opening it. "
>> His copyright begins at the moment he puts his idea in a tangible form
>by printing the lyrics out on paper. He creates proof when he mails it to
>himself - the postmark establishes the date of creation.
>>
>> "He then registers his copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office which is
>a requirement in order to sue for monetary damages should a violation of
>his copyright arise."
>>
>>  However, if somebody copies and redistributes his lyrics without
>permission before his copyright is registered, he still has the right to
>assert a copyright claim as the true author.
>>
>> Or in other words - IF it isn't registered - NO BASIS FOR SUIT!
>>
>> Lawyer can howl, copyright CAN be asserted, but NO monetary damages!
>>
>> So the "moderator"
>>
>> 1) NEEDS to ascertain IF it was properly registered.
>>
>> 2) Ensure that ALL the above steps WERE performed.
>>
>> THEN and ONLY then does the legal provisions take effect.
>>
>> Try: www.copyright.org
>>
>> Learn the FACTS!
