CompuServe Messages

<<If I/we/you place any text herein or on the Internet,>> As Kevin has so aptly shown, there are quite a few rules and regulations regarding copyrighted information here on CompuServe. However, do not think they also apply or are enforceable on the Internet. In order to access Compuserve, you must Join a service and sign an agreement. This is not the case for the Internet. One of the biggest barriers to this issue on the Internet is: Who's rules do you follow? The internet is multi-national, and not all rules or laws are the same. And even if they were, there is no legal body to enforce them. So…play it safe with the Internet. If you are posting something or making something publicly available, you can EXPECT it to be copied and reused without your permission, in fact, any reference to yourself might be totally stripped. That is just the nature of the Internet. (Don't think I'm saying this is a bad thing, I love my Internet. I'm just pointing out differences.) -Brian
