You know, I have had a very brilliant idea for a science fiction novel. But I won't put it here because it will become the intellectual property of Yahoo-Geocities. You may copyright an image, a body of written work or a design, but not an idea.
Ideas float free of charge.
Nothing on the net is sacred. My images are probably already being used with impunity on several sites. Now, that's interesting. If Yahoo were to take someone else to court for using one of my images that they wanted to use as well. Yahoo is as about as likely to use my images as its offline magazine distrubutors are likely to stop sending me invitations to re-subscribe.
