All you have to do is send a bunch of emails and wait... oh... a year or so. Then sue.

We're talking BILLIONS of dollars. Enough to buy a few small countries.

When I was younger, I would get high, and write lots of stuff that I thought was funny, or profound, or otherwise of import. I wouldn't post it until the next day after I had a chance to sober up and realize it was usually just goofy bullshit. After reading your OP, I would suggest you do the same.

Do you have a lawyer? ... I don't know why you put this is the Science forum ... the copyright statement doesn't have to be included for us to have those rights ... timestamp is used to decide who published first ...

Are you copyrighting material that's already been copyrighted ... that's theft ... and yes, I can post "nevermore" for educational purposes, but I can't copyright something Edgar Allan Poe wrote, now can I? ...

Worst, you're asking me to take down my threats to expose the NSA and calling them yellow-bellied cowards ... except No Such Agency exists ... people will believe anything you tell them ...

Email Confidentiality Disclaimers: Annoying but Are They Legally Binding?​

An important criticism of email disclaimers points to studies that most recipients ignore them. Reporting on a recent finding that less than 10% of email recipients read the attached disclaimers on messages (10%?? can it really be THAT high!?!), attorney James Sinclair started ending all his email messages with a humorous disclaimer. Reporting that no one noticed, Sinclair, a litigator, eventually published his satirical masterpiece in the humor website McSweeney’s. He wrote:

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This email does not create an attorney-client relationship. Probably. If it does, it will have said it does … because the law is tricky like that…. The sender also concedes that he is very, very stupid, and obviously should not be operating an electronic-mail machine without supervision.
