How about this one: Hadady v. Dean Witter, 739 F. Supp. 1392 (C.D. Cal
1990). Plaintiff published a newsletter from 1985 to 1987 with a notice
that said: "The information contained in this letter is protected by
U.S. copyright laws through noon EST on the 2d day after its release . .
." The Court held that the notice was effective to cause an abandonment
of plaintiff's copyright after two days despite the fact that the notice
was not defective.
