"innocent infringement"
Innocent infringement occurs when you have reason to believe that a work you are copying is not under copyright. Having a copyright notice attached to the work defeats such a claim. In fact, in a just-decided case <http://beckermanlegal.com/pdf/?file=/Lawyer_Copyright_Internet_Law/maverick_harper_100225FifthCirDecis.pdf> the Fifth Circuit decided that the mere fact that songs were available on CDs which carried copyright notices was sufficient to defeat such a defense, whether or not the defendant ever actually saw them. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
