So it's ridiculous in the extreme to claim copyright infringement on something that's public domain. This is like hearing Homer's Estate (as if there were one) sue anyone who quoted from the Odyssey or Iliad.<br /><br />Don't quote me on anything I said, because I'm not a lawyer. But it's the utmost abuse of copyright entitlement syndrome to send a C&D on behalf of works that you did own at one point but are now expired and available for all.Iron Curtainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471927173628475809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-36324612090755663942011-03-15T21:11:30.230+00:002011-03-15T21:11:30.230+00:00@Valdis: well, it's getting close to that, yes...@Valdis: well, it's getting close to that, yes...Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-48823365699144757062011-03-15T20:09:55.117+00:002011-03-15T20:09:55.117+00:00Hm...

Is that really fair?<br />--<br />a Linux Mint user since 2009 May 1PVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204919785416600206noreply@blogger.com
