After having read this newsgroup and learning that you must register
your BusyBox copyrights prior to filing suit for infringement, the SFLC
has filed a new lawsuit with fourteen defendants this time.
Ahhhhhh......... let the fun begin anew.
Sincerely,

****************** Preemption of State law ****************************
The intention of section 301 is to preempt and abolish any rights under
the common law or statutes of a State that are equivalent to copyright
and that extend to works coming within the scope of the Federal
copyright law. The declaration of this principle in section 301 is
intended to be stated in the clearest and most unequivocal language
possible, so as to foreclose any conceivable misinterpretation of its
unqualified intention that Congress shall act preemptively, and to avoid
the development of any vague borderline areas between State and Federal
protection.
