Well, if we joined the Berne convention, and you no longer have to
"publish" a copyright notice, then does that automatcially
retroactively change everything in the past?  I mean, can
you legally claim something that only now valid?  And by joining
the convention, does this directly affect US law, or is a treaty,
which must be ratified, and even still has grey areas?

Questionbs, questions, questions...
