If you've got a heavily laminated USG deck, I don't think there's a lot you can do to remove the copyrights without damaging the cards (or at least seriously defacing them). If you have an older (meaning less heavily laminated version), you might be able to erase the copyrights following LRichard's instructions closer to the beginning of the thread.I wish I know how to remove the copyright sign from my rider-waite deck.
