Well, if he didn't successfully put it in then it isn't there, is it?

You appear to contradict yourself. Do I have a copyright, or do I not?

just before you file suit, and then it's just a matter of a form and a
small fee with no possibility of denial).

So if I brought suit against someone for making unauthorized copies of my
Usenet articles a court guided by panel of literary critics might rule them
