: : 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 : c : 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 : : there is no prior art on Anderson's side, that : The is so much out there, that a case name is meaningless without the facts and law. I don't even remember the holding in Marbury V Madison. : I don't have the time to look up the case by name. I you have a question, it would help to have facts and law. : The denial of a copyright, sounds strange, copyrights are registered without examination. Prior art is involve with patents. : M.
