Thank you for the text of that.
Don't you think it's a bit odd to claim, that someone can steal the work of  
someone else for no payment whatsoever ?  Copyright or no?
 
If I work, and place a claim of copyright on my work, and you just take it,  
I really doubt that a *credible* excuse for theft is "he was claiming 
copyright  without a real copyright".
 
It's still theft of the work of someone else's effort.
 
It takes me a few dozen hours to scan the pages of a public domain  work.  I 
have a perfect right to expect payment for someone else to use  it.  That 
capitalism.
