Jeremy,

As a point of order, since 1989 all original works are automatically 
copyrighted. So the presence or absence of a copyright notice is 
inconsequential. As a fellow privacy advocate, I believe Lauren would not 
have a problem with my reposting his blog entry which he also sent out on 
his 'privacy forum' public mailing list to which I am a subscriber. He ends 
his posting by soliciting debate on the issues he raises. My redistributing 
his posting is in the spirit of advancing and stimulating that debate. In 
any case I bet it would be allowed under the fair use doctrine.

Regards,

Christian
