Since accession to the Berne Convention is a requirement for membership of the WTO, parties (not signatories, which is a different thing with little practical meaning) to the UCC who are not parties to the Berne Convention are such a small set now that it is probably not worth worrying about. These days the copyright notice has more value as: a means of giving credit; a means of letting others know who they need to ask if they wish to do something outside the license; and a method to assist distant future users of materials in identifying when a work enters the public domain. -- Troy Rollo - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
