As I stated before, The courts have ruled that no matter if one person wrote it or someone else did; the out come of the information would be the same, and data is not copyrightable. Copyrights are there to protect creativity, and for something to be protected under copyright law it has to be ORGINAL, and copyright law doesn't protect the idea, but they way the idea is expressed. fact and Information are not copyrightable, even it this information was copyrightable,which it isn't, it would fall into public domain because electromagnetic radiation (waves) has been around since the 1800's and anything before 1923 is not copyrightable, and is consider, public domain. To quote from the ruling "... is copyrightable only if its facts have been 'selected, coordinated, or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship.'" [From http://www.techlawjournal.com/cong10...0327feist.htm] That's why a physics text *is* copyrightable. It's also why an explanation of electromagnetic radiation is *also* copyrightable. Sorry, Tood. You're interpretation is seriously flawed. P.S. Electromagnetic radiation has been around since the beginning of the universe. It is only mankind's understanding of it which is relatively recent. ---- God said, "div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = -@B/@t, curl H = J + @D/@t," and then there was light. |
