In a previous article, "Steve Foley" said:
I recently learned (on usenet, so take with a grain of salt) that everything
now has an implied copyright.

When took a journalism class in 1982, the copyright laws were different.

I was surprised to find that while much of the rest of the world
recognized that all works were copyright on creation for some long time,
the US only implemented that change in 1988.

Home pages are the pet rock of the 90s. They all have them, they all think
they're very cute. But in a few years they're going to look back and be
pretty embarrassed. -- Kim Alm
