Argue all you like, but it's still the law.  Your statement is
factually incorrect.  

Last I looked (2000), Squiz's bread and butter was web design, not
content.  I would have expected you all to be not only well-versed in
copyright issues as they apply to the web, but motivated to try and
use copyright to protect your designs.  Now, I tried to look at
Squiz's site again to see if your focus had changed, but it doesn't
work in my browser.
