You do remember the controversy a few years back about what "is" is. Well, the U.S., being nothing, if not conservative, has revived that. Now the buzzword isn't "is". It's "war". You see, kind chap, we have this penchant for "war(TM)". When I went to college, decades ago, I got a student loan due to a "war(SM)" appropriation for student loans. When I drove to school, I drove on a brand new interstate highway system that was part of a "war©" preparedness emergency legislative paroxysm of patriotism. So, what "is©" "war©"? Beats the stuffing out of me.... """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" It should be noted that the author, as publisher of an electronic newspaper on the net, makes his living by publishing copyrighted material in electronic form and has the associated biases. However, DO NOT E-MAIL HIM FOR LEGAL ADVICE; for that use other resources or consult a lawyer. By the way, did I mention: do not e-mail me for legal advice? Also note that while many of these principles are universal in Berne copyright signatory nations, some are derived from U.S. law, and in some cases Canadian law. This document is provided to clear up some common misconceptions about intellectual property law that are often seen on the net. It is not intended to be a complete treatise on all the nuances of the subject. Terry Carroll's copyright FAQ is currently offline but here is an old one, covering other issues including compilation copyright and more intricacies of fair use is available in the same places you found this note. Also consider the U.S. Library of Congress copyright site. Australians try this. This site has Canadian Copyright Info. Another useful document is the EFF's IP law primer. I should also mention sorry, but please do not e-mail me your copyright questions. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Oh, ferchrissakes, don't believe a word of it. I plagiarized the whole disclaimer from this fine fellow: templetons.com """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" That's the whole truth, so help me Hannah, and you can take it to the bank. Because this a national emergency! "national©" "emergency©" Oh, never mind......
