   However, neither of these copyright statements stands alone. Calling 
   individual pages copyrighted implictly is not likely to stand the court
   tests anymore than copyright law protects a letter sent to me w/o
   any form of copyright marking.

A friend of mine is a copyright lawyer (intellectual property), and she
says that all web pages are implicitly copyrighted under current
copyright law.

Furthermore, making a copy of a page, EVEN IN RAM!, is considered a
copyright violation under the same law.

Making the page available by http does not implicitly wave the
copyright....we all are just breaking the law every time we look at a
web site.

Isn't the legal system great!  (I am not making this up, I swear it
is true as far as I know.)
