I've been involved in electronic copyright issues for 15 years now. I was on
the committee that helped set the initial policies for the Science fiction
writer's of america on electronic copyrights. I've talked to copyright
lawyers on these issues more times than I can remember.
I'm not a copyright lawyer, but for a layman, I'm not exactly a novice here.
I was publishing an online newsletter back in 1986, and I've been dealing
with these issues ever since.

If you want, I can just hand this off to the apple lawyers 9and we've now
hit the point where I may have to, anyway), but you may not like what they
decide to do.

Um, where did I ever say exclusive? I've never used that word. I've never
implied that word. You're making assumptions that aren't there, never were
there, and legally can't be there.

Yes. I wish people would.
