Funny Copyright notice.

I think a lawyer would look at that notice and LHAO. First, it's (c) 2004 with no company name after it. Then, it's "all blah blah blah are property of this site". WTF? Does the site have any rights? No. The business/person that runs the site does. And then there's the ubiquitous "all ... are the property of this site". All information, even mine? Usually there's some sort of a qualifier "all content on this site" or "all downloadable code", etc. so you know what "all" means. If they can't get their copyright right, makes me wonder about the rest of their business. Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally.

Check out the Copyright Notice at the bottom of this website. Copyright Notice[^] I wonder how the violaters are prosecuted... :doh: --- :beer: Hakuna-Matada :beer: It means no worries for the rest of your days... It's our problem free, Philosophy :jig:
I wonder what code they're protecting. Is it their awesome website? Maybe it's the way they run a google search. Fancy stuff that.

The capper, for me, is this line: Anyone Caught Violating This Copyright Will Be CAUGHT AND PROSECUTED. Basically, if they catch you copying their code, they will then catch and punish you...but wait, wasn't the person already caught???

Their is this whole bunch of 'misguided' individuals that think knowledge is some sort of intellectual property right. I don't know a single programmer, developer, engineer, politician, farmer, lawyer, school teacher, writer, etc. that has not plagiarized material at some point in their professional career. It just the way that we learn things. If you want to carry this to the ultimate extreme, why have schools? Is not every student, teacher, dean, associate, etc. plagiarizing material every day of his/her life? Didn't we do that even when our parents were potty training us? Come on, I do believe that there is some validity to intellectual property rights however, there is a FINE LINE between what is legitimately a right (i.e. music, videos, movies, patented or trademarked items) and what is not. Now I will put the soapbox back under the desk... Regards, John McPherson "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C.

How about if the english language was patented. Or musical notation. I think the whole intellectual property concept is a bit blown out. Songs for instance, were passed down through generations as community property. Usually to carry the stories and history along with them. Imagine if they had to pay royalties first. ;)

That is what I thought and why I posted that it was lame.
