Basskisser,

So when AP, CNN, Wall Street Journal say their material has a copyright,
they are just teasing us.

Since the written works seen on most news sites have also been printed in a
newspaper and not exclusively on their web site I don't believe the section
of the code you are citing is appropriate to the news web sites. The
experts I have read believe the news web cites would fall under the section
of the code I cited.. Since every interpretation I have found agrees with
my interpretation, I will have to assume they are correct, and you are not.

So, I take it that you haven't read the actual LAW that I posted?
If so, all would be clear to you. It is, after all, the law, from the
Copyright Act, not someone's speculation.
