RE: COPYRIGHT LAWS and Registry?

["Welsh, David" <David.Welsh@nordstrom.com>]

Yes David, but .... does a Registry fall under 'publishing' legal rules or does it fall under 'advertising' legal rules ? Has this ever been tested in the courts ?

It's a stated intention to have company's to 'publish' their CPP's, where one can reasonably argue that a CPP is a statement of the technical capability of a company for a prospective trading agreement; that eventually results in a CPA. 
So is a company 'advertising' when they post their CPP ?

The discussion is probably academic at this moment, but when people start doing real business, deals start breaking down and things go 'pear shaped' ending in arbritration it could prove interesting.
