[DECtalk] copyright

[Jayson Smith]

While all of this is true, and I even agree, the fact remains that the 
letter of the law states something else. Sure, there are millions and 
millions of cases where copyright infringement has occurred, yet the 
copyright holders either don't know about it, or choose not to enforce 
their rights. But don't get me wrong, it is up to them, and them alone, 
whether to take action or not. On a copyright myths site I read once, it 
said that many publishers turn a blind eye to fan fiction or even subtly 
encourage it. But it went on to state that this is what they choose to 
do, and they could just as easily sue for damages.
