[edit] Copyleft violation

I cannot find any copyright notice on http://www.fraudwatchernetwork.com/website/mail-fraud.html which presumably means it is not copyleft, but is standard copyright. Does that make this automatic copyvio? Tedernst 05:47, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Of course it does. At least in the Netherlands every written work is automaticaly copyrighted, unless the owner explicitly copylefts it. This does mean that this would be a copyvio. Nazgjunk||(talk) 18:12, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Excuse me for barging into this discussion, but can somebody tell me how the US Government manages to get away with pinning the charge of mail fraud on known criminals who they can't otherwise convict. Note - this is not a loaded question, I genuinely want to know!

[edit] Great Train Robbery

How valid is a British robbery as an example of breaking a United States-specific law?

[edit] The Cleaners

I liked that pun at the end of this section. I really think Wikipedia should have more jokes like that other than the ones in here.

Wow, I came in to comment on the pun at the end of that section too. Good deal!
