Nor do I. I view such a statement as just another extravagant claim. One sees many such statements associated with the standard Copyright statement. There is nothing in the U.S. Copyright law which prohibits such extravagant claims so copyright owners use them all the time. What we probably need is some "Truth in Copyright" legislation to rein in the zealots.
