Copyright goes into play at the moment the work is created, whether it
is marked or not. Should the individual choose to enforce it he would
have to show damages. If he has registered it and brings suit the
bidding starts at about $20,000. The issues don\'t generally cause
problems until someone tries to sell a product using the work as a
significant part of the promotion.
Granted we could create something similar, as I have in the past, and
probably use it. But I have some other ideas which I think will work
out great and won\'t infringe on anyone.
