According to Brad Templeton's copyright FAQ, it really doesn't mean anything
anyway.  If I recall, It was needed in a few south american countries, all of
whom have become Berne-convention parties now, so it really means nothing.

It never meant "rights" in a licensing point of view, so while your actions
are agreeable, your motivation is misplaced. :)
