I would like to point out that this statement, rather than "holding no
force" as aledged by some is actually a very clear and concise PUBLIC
LEGAL DOCUMENT and a CONTRACT between NAFEX mambers and contributors to
POMONA.

My reply:

Uhhh...well...Lets try it this way.

Even if one were prepared to argue that this is a contract, it would then
be by definition a "unilateral" contract which in essence means anyone
attempting to preserve their copyright status would be afforded the
"loosest" interpretation of the law. This in effect, would negate the
alleged merits of the "notice" in POMONA.

Obviously in such a circumstance the identity and status of the
infringing party would be paramount in determing the extent to which
copyright protection would be afforded. Any corporate entity, business,
of NAFEX itself would be held to higher standard than would an individual
passing information along to third party.

Very truly yours,

TFB
