<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2604594, member: 71723&quot;]Incorrect, sir. Copyright registration is only required before one files suit, not before the actual infringement. Professional photographers have used this technique for MANY MANY decades now. The full copyright is established &quot;at the moment the button is pushed&quot; and registration only need to precede the filing of the legal action. Odd, but nonetheless correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, to your other misstatements: only one agency is tasked with enforcement under the HPA, and that is the FTC. The FTC has only just recently established, after all the rule-making process including public comment, which in turn included public comments both by Mr. Carr and against Mr. Carr&#039;s position, the legal and procedural framework under which the FTC will operate in these matters, and they have refused to explicitly allow or disallow Mr. Carr&#039;s position, saying there is no need to do so.<b><i> In that very same statement the FTC stated that altered coins are only a legal problem with the intent of fraud present. </i></b>I don&#039;t know why they refused to get into Carr&#039;s little niche explicitly, but they didn&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you can look at all that and <b><i>not</i></b> conclude that we are now operating in a whole new legal ballgame, I genuinely feel sorry for you, and anyone you attempt to &quot;inform&quot;, as if...</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you want to dispute the attorney&#039;s fees issue in copyright cases specifically, take it up with the lawyers on &quot;This Week in Law&quot; who represent that awarding them in matters that come all the way to trial is &quot;automatic&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
