In what language ? Does it mean if we can compress a text to below a certain size it stops being copyright ? The international convention is on originality/creativity - the US copyright office has taken the stance that the creativity requirements can't be met by short phrases. But many courts around the world have provided rulings based upon the same international conventions protecting snippets of text. For example 11 words were considered protectable in: http://curia.europa.eu/jurisp/cgi-bin/gettext.pl?lang=en&num=79909283C19080005&doc=T&ouvert=T&seance=ARRET&where=() http://curia.europa.eu/jurisp/cgi-bin/gettext.pl?lang=en&#38... Last year the Australian High Court rules that slogans were copyrightable: http://www.simpsongrierson.com/assets/publications/oym/OYMApril09.pdf http://www.simpsongrierson.com/assets/publications/oym/OYMAp... In many country sports statistics are also often considered copyrightable, even though they contain even smaller amounts of information than a sentence of text.
