copyright notice

[Doug Millison]

John's simple-minded dismissals notwithstanding, as in the case of anything
we create and publish, each of us do own copyright to our Internet
postings. As in the real world, the ability to defend against copyright or
other intellectual property infringement increases proportionally to the
effort expended in protecting our creations -- in the case of Internet
postings, affixing a copyright notice constitutes such an effort. It's
generally not necessary, however, because as far as I know, most authors
and publishers take the time to get permission to quote before
appropriating such intellectual property for publication. As has become
obvious here, Jules and IAM didn't do that.
