I did read the law, and you did not provide the actual law, you provided a
tiny section of the law. It should be obvious that it does not apply to
news articles published online. That section of the law, was meant to cover
such online publishing as people posting in Usenet, and publishing of a home
web page. If you want to actually read the law, and not a section of the
law, here is a link to the 293 pages of THE LAW.

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.
