Cindy Technically, one can claim a copyright on anything they create; including this very msg. I think, in this instance, there is a 2nd issue at play: namely, the law under which BookShare operates. This amendment may have certain provisions that require greater adherence. What is so frustrating about the "Boot Camp" book is that, on the title page, it plainly says "copyright xxxx" That clearly isn't quite sufficient it would seem based on the book being thrown back 4 times.
