Errr, how would you know the note is correct? :-)

It used to be that at least in the USA, you actually had to put a copyright 
notice on the copyrighted material to be protected. That too went out the 
window, sadly enough.

I'm assuming that a specialty movie theatre posting preview of the movies 
they are showing have permission to do so. Just like when I go in person to 
a movie theatre, I expect the movie theatre has obtained permission to show 
the movie to the public.

I'm not going to get so paranoid that I'm going to call up Mr Lucas to see 
if the 20th anniversary showing of Star Wars at the local movie theatre is 
authorized.
