This was strange, I have my articles from IP coming into my gmail,
and they go straight to my IP label folder. This one went straight
to my Spam folder, the only IP article to do so yet....hmmmmm

On the program they made the statement that google owns the copyright
to all our Usenet posts. This is a serious misrepresentation of the
copyright law.
Under the Berne Convention which the US signed in 1989, the creator
of a work owns the copyright. Google does not own it.
Google should be indicating that they respect this with the Usenet
archive posts. They don't. Instead they put a (c) Google 2005 after
the post. They do *not* own our Usenet posts. For them to claim
they do is irresponsible and a violation of the copyright of those
who have written the posts.
I tried to comment in the marketplace comment section but don't know
if this will actually get to them.

I have tried to bring this problem to the attention of those at
Google, but the effort has been useless.
