Richard Schilling scripsit: > The WTO countries are supposed to recognize US copyright, as the US is > supposed to recognize the IP of the other WTO countries.

Will other countries treat the work as copyright in their domains nevertheless, especially if the U.S. claims that it is? -- John Cowan <jcowan at reutershealth.com> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan http://www.reutershealth.com Charles li reis, nostre emperesdre magnes, Set anz totz pleinz ad ested in Espagnes. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
