If that were true, then 20 people could each steal a single chapter from a book, and one of the people could combine those 20 chapters into a new copyright-free book. That's clearly false.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoDid I say anything about paragraphs or chapters? Didn’t I specially write there is nuance? And for your strawman, the assembly of uncopywritable components into a copywriten work, would still be a violation. So we agree that copywriter is somewhere between the paragraphs and chapters and the book. So why are tiny code excerpts “a problem”?
