A Googling revealed that they did register it, after we had been using it...sigh...My brother told me" The whole world is out to screw the little guy, Greg. the quicker you realize you're a little guy the better off you'll be". I now know my place at the end of the line ( or close to it!).

As I understand it, our little pissant did none of that, just issued vague lawsuit threats. I'm certain you and most other bloggers, don't start a blog with the idea "I'm going to break the law and intentionally use copyrighted material". Seems to me that copyright law ought to be changed to reflect the proliferation of information in the age of the internet. Perhaps, "if it ain't clearly marked as copyrighted, it's not." I'm not a lawyer nor have I played one on television, but that seems to be a better starting place than everything is copyrighted unless marked not.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-72571150803754158812014-07-23T09:55:52.475-07:002014-07-23T09:55:52.475-07:00Am I still P.O.ed about that?
