    Does this mean that all I have to do to protect something that
I distribute is put the copyright thingie and appropriate words
on a line at the end????  If so,  if someone does this and I
"steal" something and make a fortune, how is the "victim" going to
prove the material is his (especially with the anomalous dating on
the net!)??  After all, I could remove the old copyright line and
substitute mine.  If copyrights work this way, then they are pretty
worthless.  In that case,
  
                   Hoist the Jolly Roger, me buccos, 
                    it's time to get down to some
                    serious pirating....
