You would be mistaken to conclude that the Foundation does not regard copyvio as significant. Rather, your choice of venue for discussion, i.e., Foundation-L, is not the most productive. Juriwiki-L is the place where hot copyvio action may be found more readily. Please contact me offline to discuss particulars. -Brad Bradford A. Patrick, Esq. Fowler White Boggs Banker 501 E.

The lack of response is deafening! :-P I guess I was mistaken. :-( I take it that copyright issues and incorrect use of fair use provisions are NOT a concern for the foundation at this moment in time? Due to the fact that copyright and fairuse checking is seen as disruptive on en.wikipedia, I suppose that priority must then be given to the community. I shall concede this point to my opposition, and request for copyright checks on en.wikipedia to be curtailed. sincerely, Kim Bruning -- [Non-pgp mail clients may show pgp-signature as attachment] gpg (www.gnupg.org) Fingerprint for key FEF9DD72 5ED6 E215 73EE AD84 E03A 01C5 94AC 7B0E FEF9 DD72 _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer under IRS Circular 230: Unless expressly stated otherwise in this transmission, nothing contained in this message is intended or written to be used, nor may it be relied upon or used, (1) by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and/or (2) by any person to support the promotion or marketing of or to recommend any Federal tax transaction(s) or matter(s) addressed in this message.
