More Copyright
This subject must have a hex on it. My computer email has crashed. I'm using webmail
now. I have a terrible mess in my MS Outlook.
Anyway, I stand by my statement about copyright as I quoted from the United States
Copyright Office. I see no reason we non-attorneys can not discuss it. It is not
dangerous. The vast number of people never need an attorney regarding copyright. Save
your money.
I bought a 19" wide screen flat screen monitor today. I do a lot of work with photos.
This wide screen is wonderful; I can open photos on one side and Excel on the other and
type the data from the photos into Excel to create a listing. No more switching back and
forth. Of course when done, the list is not protected by copyright. :)

Hello Greg,
The quote that is referred to pertains to laws that were re-written 7 months
ago. Unfortunately, in our cyber-world, some web pages have not been updated
in quite a long time, and although they may be somewhat accurate, unless
they are in direct conflict with what was re-written, no one is in a big
hurry to change the pages. Some of the advise that comes across on these
lists is either totally wrong or mis-leading just enough for it to be
dangerous. I am not saying that anyone is intentionally stating wrong facts,
just that I've seen so much that is inaccurate. I'm sure we've all seen
pages out there that really do need to be fine tuned in order to reflect the
current accuracy. For anyone worried about copyright laws, I suggest that
you consult an attorney.

Can you please cite "The laws..." that pertain to your comment about:

In communication media like e-mail or ASCII text, it is sometimes not
possible to type or include this symbol. Some people substitute "(C)" or
"(c)" since that closely resembles the copyright symbol. The laws that deal
with copyright notices do not allow any deviations from the c-in-a-circle.
It is thus questionable whether a court in such a jurisdiction would
consider a "(c)" or "(C)" a valid alternative for a copyright symbol.
