Yeah, yeah. Funny reading indead!!!

"You do not need to register to enforce your copyright. "

>From the United states Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
where SFLC resides and likes to file their harrasing suits (just to 
dismiss voluntary and even with prejudice against own clients shortly 
after filing initial complaint):

"It provides that "no action for infringement of the copyright in
any United States work shall be instituted until pre-registration
or registration of the copyright claim has been made in
accordance with this title." 17 U.S.C. sec. 411(a); see also 17
U.S.C. sec. 501.1 Whether this requirement is jurisdictional is
not up for debate in this Circuit. On two recent occasions, we
have squarely held that it is."; In re Literary Works in
Electronic Databases Copyright Litigation; Nos. 05-5943-cv(L),
06-0223-cv(CON)(2d Cir. Nov. 29, 2007).

No jurisdiction -- automatic dismissal.

Juha, SFLC isn't a "law center". For the most part it's a center of 
pseudo-legal nonsense aimed to foster GNUtian agenda.
