Quite the contrary, something is copyrighted even if you don't put "Copyright" on it, don't register it, and don't say, "All rights reserved." Whatever you write is assumed to be the copyrighted property of you UNLESS you SPECIFICALLY state that it is public domain. This complies with many other countries' laws whom also go by the rules set forth by the Berne Convention. SO, the area is copyrighted, no matter if he registered it or even put "Copyright" on it. And, BTW, "(c)" is not recognized as a legal symbol. <*=-+Daniel+-=*> "Forgive me father, for I am sin." +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
