I don't remember it in any legislation and a quick search of trials at www.bailii.org didn't find any judges using it for copyright except when quoting political speeches or the media companies. Also, have you notice who publishes most dictionaries? Media companies... Now, heading even further off-topic: why are people on this list using googlemail? Are there so many supporters of Microsoft-like censorship in China, trademark snatch, net pollution, World Economic Forum and so on? ;-) http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/google http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/boycott Regards, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Somerset, England.
