Justin...Good Question....that was discussed throughout the years.
ANYTHING...that becomes "published" (available) through the "Net" is "public domain."
The lawyers, copyrightist's, web-creator's, java-scriptors, may "HOWL" all they want...BUT>>>
Within four to six hours of it "appearing" on the "web" it has been archived in multiple locations. In some cases it is more like four to six seconds.
The Internet is the nightmare Kipling and Samuel Langhorn feared, at its absolute worst. And the ability to archieve, preserve, "steal" is compounded by the immediate moment.
The globe is quickly moving towards the egalitarian society dick and susan once invisioned, (though Max's proletareate vision's of wealth have momentarily, entranced, fogged and blinded them.)
