But then Goecities has paid the fees and filed the copyrights and trademarks with the appropriate legal authorities. Just pasting the words is not enough. Do not mislead anyone here. If you put something out there and you do not file with the proper agency. Then you have very little to stand on. I am not going to start pasting copyright and trademark laws on this board as it is not the venu. You can jump up and down yell and scream all you wish. You cannot file for damages if you do not register legally first!
