Basic IP law - copyright is held in all works, regardless of whether
they're registered or display a copyright notice, or the (c) sign.
So from your logic (and I'm not saying it's bad logic), MS would
be forced to automatically disable Smart Tags on all pages where
rights to copy etc aren't explictly given.
I wonder if there's a P3P-like XML mechanism for communicating
IP rights to the UA...
Cheers
