There is an error in this article. Around 15th paragraph in the article, the worried editor was wrong in saying that the lack of copyright notice meant that anyone could copy Marshall Poe's book without permission. Also, Marshall was wrong to say that this was what he wanted. The myth (the lack of copyright notice means that one can copy a book without permission) is common that it is mentioned first in the list of 11 common myths about copyright at http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html.
