I, personally, am of the opinion that the extension of "automatic" copyright
protection to pre-existing works for which no copyright was claimed qualifies
as a *STUPID* peice of legislation. But, it is on the books, and we have to
deal with things on that basis.

No argument there. I just wonder what it'd take to get it changed.
Since it apparently stemmed from an international agreement, it'd
probably be a lost cause.
