	I believe that Kee Hinckley is referring to the claim that some
people on the net have expressed that Apple will lose the right to sue
for copyright infringement if they don't send the alleged infringer a
demand letter within X number of days of the software being released.

	I'd appreciate it if one of the people who were making
arguments along these lines would tell me where they learned about
this principle.  I've heard of something analogous for patents, but
not for copyrights.
