Jezeuz! The phrase "all rights reserved" is explicitly required so that the author doesn't loose rights under pan-american copyright. Without that phrase certain south american countries will take all sorts of liberties with the item being copyrighted. It also helps to limit the stuff that the government can do to the item if it is somehow transmitted to them. Talk about basic confusion. -- Gregory G.
