It will be helpful to read some of the FAQs on copyright available by anonymous FTP from rtfm.mit.edu [18.70.0.209], within directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/law/copyright/ . In particular you may wish to read myths/part1 and question 3.8 found in faq/part3. (The myths document only has one part. The complete copyright FAQ is in six parts.) If you don't have direct access to FTP, you can obtain these documents by email by sending a message containing the following send usenet/news.answers/law/copyright/myths/part1 send usenet/news.answers/law/copyright/faq/part3 quit to address [log in to unmask] -- Roger Burns [log in to unmask]
