Ok, I'll bite: do you really mean to say that it's a crime somewhere to put

Speeding is illegal but not a crime. Not all laws are part of the
criminal code.
I think that my meaning was reasonably clear, but apparently not.
Is it part of hte civil code then? Is there some law - be it criminal or
otherwise - against putting the silly disclaimers into emails and then
sending those emails to a public mail list?
I'm genuininely curious (and find it a little hard to believe).
It is misrepresentation. By participating in a public newsgroup,
mailing list or forum, you automatically place that correspondence in
the public domain since their stated purpose is to share information.
Then claiming that anyone who reads it cannot use it as they see fit,
violates the agreement that you willing accepted. It is illegal to
claim ownership to something you no longer have ownership of.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
