Do I understand correctly that this web site and Blog site and the

Apparently that's the case. After a look at his website & blog, seems
like a pretty decent guy. I bet most of us would like him in person.

it would seem that Mr. Atkielski certainly isn't going to enforce his
copyrights, even when the infringer has deep-pockets.

Unlike patents and trademarks, a copyright need not be actively
defended against all infringers in order to remain valid. Anyone can
be sued or prosecuted at any time.

Infringement actions generally require that the copyright holder have
deep pockets, as the cost of any legal action is extremely high.
Often the copyright holders who are the most vigorous in their pursuit
of infringers are exactly those whom the law wasn't really designed to
protect, such as large media companies. Individual artists of modest
means who may depend on copyright protection to help them support
themselves often do not have the resources to sue or prosecute for
infringement.

Oh oh, You quoted Steve's copyrighted post in your post. I'm sure you will
be hearing from his lawyers.

Jurisprudence has not been established for backquoting. In most
jurisdictions it is probably a permissible use, as long as entire
posts are not reproduced wholesale with a one-line rejoinder.

This implies you are *not* the copyright owner.

It implies nothing about me at all.

Ground School, he's just got to keep one lesson ahead of the class.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Is that Wall Street English? (I saw ads for "Wall Street English" when I was
in Paris).

When I was there, it was very hot, so when my family and I went into Paris
(we stayed just outside Paris - near a train station) we filled empty soda
bottles with water and froze them the night before. Throughout the day we
would drink whatever had melted.

I read on his blog that during the same time period he complained of the
high cost of soda from street vendors.

I guess it's all priorities. I won't buy a bottle of soda at $1.00 (or 1
euro) but I own a plane.

He buys soda and fast food all the time, but won't take an intro flight.

Acctually no I don't. I had forgotten that no copyright notification had
to be posted. I knew it but it slipped my mind. But that isn't the reason
I don't need to research the law on the issue. The reason is Anthony
couldn't get a lawyer to take the case in a million years. It would
require two things he doesn't have. Money and the ability to interact with
real people.
He might get a simulated lawyer. MSLS beta0.1.

He might need the International Version.

I know of at least one case where a blog site was sued by a major
publication for republishing, in its entirety, a copyrighted article.
No financial loss need be proven in copyright infringement cases --
this is irrelevant. A copyright literally means "the right to copy."

Please quote the case law reference. I'd like to see the judgement for
that one.
I don't know the case but it was Little Green Footballs that was sued.
