Re: Question on liability for falsely asserting

I noted that a false assertion of copyright in public-domain material doesn't actually create a copyright or remove the work from the public domain.

Amalyah Keshet and Larry Steller point out, however, that such an assertion can be at best profoundly discouraging to creators, and at worst can in effect prevent legitimate creators from marketing their works, because of its chilling effect.

I agree.
