On the one hand, I really respect the judge for being reasonable in this. Kudos to him.
On the other hand, there is a perverse part of me wishing it had gone the other way -- what a great way to highlight what is broken about copyright it would be to quote this case.
- lotharbot 15y agoThis case shows one of the few things that's not broken about copyright: you can't copyright facts, or the idea of setting those facts to music. For example, you can't copyright a list of the names of all of the presidents of the US, nor can you copyright the idea of putting all of those names to music, though you can copyright your specific musical arrangement.
