Careful what you copyright!
I wasn't the only one who noticed the improper copyright notices included with the Boston Globe's publication of the Declaration of Independence on July 4: Stanford Law Professor Lawrence Lessig noticed it, too, and his response was a link to the section of the U.S. Copyright Law that spells out the criminal penalties for fraudulent copyright notices. That's right, criminal. So far, however, no one has summoned the authorities on them.
Meanwhile, Buzzflash has published a "Declaration of Independence for 2003."
