Re: URL correctimizer ... how to make one?

Tell me Curt, where is it copyrighted? US/Canada/Worldwide? Where is it registered? What do you intended to do to protect your copyright? What makes this code unique that it can be copyrighted to you? Do you understand copyrighting and intellectual property? You just made that code public on a public list - does that nullify the copyright? Why did you post the code if it was not with the intent to share? Perhaps you should think twice/thrice/four-times before you post copyrighted code - I can guarantee you that it will be used over and over and over by many a person - and you did not even include a credit in the code.
