In reply to Lucinda, I am apprehensieve that this is just useless
posturing as there has already been a court decision on privacy and
ownership or copyright of material on the internet. No matter how
frivolous, the case proves that material cannot be copyrighted and
that such material can be used for purposes like court presentation
etc. because that was the case in question. The fact that material can
be presented in court in an indictment against you usually means
fairly conclusively that all copyright etc is lost. At any rate, the
procedure would be to cite the precedent which is the basis of US and
British law. -- Paul.
