[CAUT] Copyright

[Jurgen Goering]

Recently, on this list, an article regarding the sale of Bösendorfer 
has been reprinted in its entirety not once, but several times.  At the 
bottom of the article is says
>> Copyright © 2002 Playbill, Inc. All Rights Reserved

What does this mean?  Does it mean that it is OK to copy the whole 
article as long as you include the copyright information?  I always 
thought that is means that the article must not be copied without 
expressed permission by the copyright holder.

It seems that the PTG and the Journal go to great lengths to assure 
copyright on their (our) materials.  Would it be OK for anyone to copy 
a Journal article and make it public, say on a web site of piano forum? 
  I suspect not.

If there is indeed copyright infringement going on with reproduction of 
the Playbill article on the CAUT list, can it be that the PTG is being 
exposed to legal risk, as this list is part of the PTG website?

I don't want to berate anyone here, I am just asking for clarification.
