Subj: [kl] GeoCities & Intellectual Property Infringement

Just thought I'd mention something good about a major Web site player. David
Blumberg noticed a blatant infringement of Oliver Seely's and my copyright
rights on GeoCites. A member had totally copied one of the more popular
pages on Sneezy, along with many of Oliver's MIDI files. While neither
Oliver or I mind people linking to the pages (in fact, I'm rather flattered
by the links), we require people get permission before any pages are copied;
in some cases the author of an article may not grant permission, even if I
don't mind.

I sent an email to GeoCities notifying them of the problem. They in turn
notified the author of the page in question and today the page is gone.

Cheers,
Mark Charette@-----.org
