    Heh ... that's amazing:

    <quote>The ACTUAL situation is that "All rights reserved" has become utterly meaningless since the creation of the Bern Convention in 1968</quote>

    Over 40 years later, and it's still being kicked around and mis-interpreted.

    Cheers,

        Caselaw changes, textbooks aren't updated, new fools born every day ... many things possible here on flat Earth :)

      "Utterly meaningless" is a misrepresentation of the facts; and the timeline is munged as well. It's become redundant; and according to Wikipedia (with appropriate grains of salt taken) it's only been formally so for a decade.
