Alla:

I am not an IP lawyer either, but I did took copyright for a year in 
law school and I had a pretty good professor, so the basics stuck 
with me :) Contrary to the property, where our lovely professor 
refused to answer questions from people, if he deemed them not to be 
sophisticated enough. But aparently he deemed himself to be 
sophisticated enough to come to lectures with smell of alcohol 
sometimes, snort.

I find publisher's position to be mindboggling, frankly from what I 
read.
