Copyright vs Public Domain

Subject: Re: Copyright vs Public Domain

Comments:
: We are in the middle of a huge argument in a : newsgroup over a copyright issue. In particular : this is rooted in the case of Anderson vs. Stallone : which you are probably familiar with. : The crux is how to interpret the status of Andersons : work when he was denied a copyright. As far as I know : there is no prior art on Anderson's side, that is to : say his entire atristic output was reflected in the : item that was adjuduicated. : What is the status of Anderson's original dialog, : prose, plot, et al, excluding Stallones copyrighted : material ? Is it de facto public domain ? Or perhaps : worthy of a separate copyright ? Or something else ? : Thanks : Don Lail
