I'm confused - are you referring to the "reality.net" in the email address? I see no other reference to "real" anywhere else in the headers. The path looks okay. -- remove MYSHOES to email

This is not a forum on Copyright Law governing intellectual property and the Author's specific permission to reproduce is not specifically required by the law in this case. However, Jem would have the right to suite if Will had reproduced his unaltered work for profit without his permission. See "Fair Use" (Reproduced from Thomas G. Fields Franklin Pierce Law Center Publication, "Copyright And The Internet".) http://www.fplc.edu/tfield/copynet.htm Additionally, to my knowlege the US Dept of Defense upholds the strictest standards in following US Copyright Law pertaining to guarding Intellectual Property in its publication guidelines.

Additionally, I had already done a whois on "reality.net", so I just now went back to double-check, to see if I've missed something that you picked up on (I also wanted to make sure that all the drinking last night hasnt affected me today :): Registrant: Reality Networks 101 infinite Loop Reality, CA 94901 US How are they related to "Real Networks", as in your statement? -- remove MYSHOES to email |
