McGavern > kam544@ionet.net > Registered Piano Technician Keith, Mr Baxter and other interested parties: It has been my understanding that non-copywrighted intellectual property posted for public access would be in the public domain, that is, it may be reproduced or distributed by others with or without the author's permission. Generally, common courtesy dictates that the author should be credited. The fact that the material in question is posted to a webserver, This in turn would give the Publishers Copywright to the person(s) responsible for the content on the webserver. The "webmaster" is responsible party in the case of litigation. This Publishers Copywright in no way diminished the ownership of the document, especially in the case of an author who has posted copywrighted material to the webserver. It does mean, however, that one can not reproduce the material in another form or even on another web site without complying with the copywright laws. Applicable doccumentation may be obtained from the Library of Congress either by mail or electronically from their web site. In this case, I strongly recommend that Ron Berry, RPT ronberry@iquest.net and Ron Torella, RPT torrella@umich.edu be involved in this discussion as quickly as possible because they are the Webmasters of the site that hosts the Piano Page, archives this list and are ultimatley responsible for its content. Respectfully,
