However, if you'd like the truth about how copyright works, I suggest y'all do your own research. A good place to start is Brad Templeton's Copyright Myths FAQ. You can find it posted on the USENET newsgroup news.announce.newusers and on the web at: http://www.clari.net/brad/copymyths.html And once you've done so, please let this thread die, ok? :) Alex, could you add a link to that FAQ from your mailing list FAQ? -- [----- Jack Wilson ------- mailto:deejay@cu-online.com ----------------] [--- Home page: http://www.cu-online.com/~deejay/ ---------------------] [- PGP fingerprint: 99 C9 B7 A3 C4 72 DD 87 72 CF 67 50 63 48 D0 6D -] +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
