R. Smith Consulting, New Brunswick, NJ Lines: 15 The next logical step I see is that shareware or public domain authors, when copyrighting a product, include a clause that the product never be compressed using any format that SEA has instituted a copyright claim for. This way, new products written by people who disagree with the competition by litigation attitude shown by SEA can be certain that they will never support SEA in any indirect fashion.
