You use the top banner to add a copyright statement when the copyright is
NOT to be  held by the poster. One  example is when you set up  a list to
repost  copyrighted  material  on  a   regular  basis  with  the  owner's
permission, for instance a newsletter. Anywhere where you'd want to add a
copyright manually -  you can now do this  automatically. Another example
is an internal corporate list where all subscribers are employees and are
using the list in the course  of their professional activities. I suppose
their employment contract is the place  where it is established that they
don't own the stuff they write in  the course of their job and under what
conditions exactly, but I also suppose the lawyers were concerned that it
might not be clear to *others* that  the work is owned by the company and
not the poster. All  in all, it doesn't matter. If  a customer feels that
they  can't buy  the  product  because of  a  tiny  missing feature  that
concerns their lawyers,  our answer is usually to  implement the feature,
and not to challenge their lawyers' competence.
