I saw that, thanks. I actually had one of my blog posts ripped off and nothing happened (mostly because the site went flooey and partly because I had no idea what my rights are- I now have copyrights on everything, a CC license on mah blog and I'm going to start watermarking photos... just in case).

Now that the web is so open and such a wellspring of content, I'm surprised there aren't MORE protections in place. Also surprising is that there are so many STOOPID PEOPLE who assume that all this technology means that everything is up for grabs, just because it's possible to copy and paste things.
