Again, your statement only holds IF the copyright holder chooses to protect
the copyright. If a copyright is held by anyone and they fail to defend
that copyright, then the copyright vanishes, it's as simple as that. And,
at that point, any talk of infringement becomes moot. At least, that's
always been *my* understanding of copyright.
