copyright question
I'm not all all clear about copyrights on web pages. For example, should the material on a web page to be considered as public domain and thus available for copying and distibution via the internet?
I've found that occasionally there will be a copyright notice on a web page, but this is by far very rare. |

Thanks for the info. I considered that to be the situation, but wondered about it because of lack of copyright info on the pages unlike paper books, etc.
As I understand copyrights, a book, for example, must be registered to be considered copyrighted, so one would suspect that web page text also would require registration in order for copyrights to exit, unless perhaps that all the pages of a web site provider might be copyrighted(?)

That's correct; that's when the US signed the international Berne copyright convention and gained copyright laws more in accordance with those elsewhere in the world.
