Further, since %there is no legal restriction to who may connect to USENET, there can be %no legally recognized distinction between sites. Thus site restriction %messages in notices of copyright are legally meaningless. Yet further, %there is no general information flow restriction that can be legally %enforced for any site or group of sites. I don't actually care if Genie uses this stuff or not, but you have sparked my curiousity; is there no legal way I can stop GENIE from copyrighting MY material if I post it on USENET?
