Why are y'all intimidated?

Any person living in the United States can claim the right to copyright something, but that is about all it would ever be, a claim. People quote from there DD/DI, here and everywhere as they wish. Gus, as usual, is just bullshitting everyone. He is trying to keep people from repeating their garbage and saying it is garbage. If he wants to stop people from using material from his web site he would have to show that it is in some way unique and of value. And that other people using it would be detrimental in some way to him. What they are doing is gossiping at a discussion forum, nothing more. Copyright material, nonsense!!

then it shouldn't a public forum, but a restricted forum by invitation only (EG an internal forum where employees of a company discuss certain issues ).
Any dog & his pal can register, so I really don't see where the problem is.
