> There has to be a law against fraudulent copyright notices, isn't there?
Nope, there's not. You can claim copyright on the Mona Lisa if you want. Doesn't mean it has the force of law, though, but no one can do anything to you for saying so. This whole public domain thing is a big issue. Disney is notorious for taking something in the public domain (the story of Pocahantas, Aladdin, etc.), putting their own spin on it, then going after anyone like piranhas who dares to even use the names of the characters, let alone the stories. The fact is, if Disney sued you for making your own version of Aladdin, they would lose on the merits if it ever got to trial but by that time, the average person (or even the average company) would be bankrupt trying to defend the suit against a behemoth like Disney, so most people cave, even though they are legally in the right and Disney doesn't have a leg to stand on. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
