Thanks Mike. We had so many inquiries about this issue that I had to write the article.

If anyone has specific questions or additions, please add them as comments to the article so I can answer them and everyone reading can see the answers, thanks!

That is a good simple article. Thanks for posting that. I usually put the symbol on any of my posted pictures but have been asked many times if it really menas anything. Here is the answer. Thanks again

Just a couple comments:
IMO you should make it clear(er) that the rules cited apply to the US and other countries may have different rules. Considering that ScubaBoard has more then the US it would be good to clarify that point.

I found point 4 about copyright notices a little misleading. The copyright notice isn't required for either registered or unregistered works. It can be used with either registered or unregistered works.

As a programmer I feel your plight over copyright infringement. I'm glad to see someone taking the effort to educate others.
