Jake and Mike,
All I meant was, if the book says, plain as day, copyright so-and-so, why
isn't that good enough?
Reference the Wild Bill nightmare, where the book says the copyright date
and holder, copyright.gov agrees, and it still gets kicked back.
I guess I do want to know what Gustavo is thinking, because there is
something here I'm not getting. But I still have no desire to become a
copyright lawyer. I just want some simple, easy-to-follow, guideline. I
miss Jesse; he was good at those.
