So, I hope all the links here will come through correctly. If you want more answers to copyright questions check out the office of the government that KNOWS the answer: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/index.html The United States Copyright Office, you can even ask them a question on their "Contacts" page. Of course the USCO site does include the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) passed by the House of Representatives on Aug 4, 1998.
