| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | Why don't radio show hosts coryright their bits? Wouldn't it eliminate all of this pointless quabling and put all the people who question "_____ did it first" in their place?  "You don't know who I am? Fool! Don't make me bitch-slap you!" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | I don't know shit about copyright laws, but here are some ideas: 1. How can you prove it was an original bit? Maybe someone else had already done something like that before. 2. So let's say you copyright a bit. What if someone else nas never heard the bit before, but did something like it? Lawsuits galore, and lawsuits usually turn into a clusterfuck. 3. I don't even know if you can copyright something you say. People will start saying that it goes against the 1st Amendment for Freedom Of Speech. ___________________________________________________________________ I'm bigger than the Devil combined with Schindler's list. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I think you can’t copyright an idea or concept. You can only copyright an actual product that works. opieanthony.com; Like a retarded yoyo, you will keep coming back.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Sigh... OK, Joey, when you say product, you mean something you can touch?(Edit: no offense intended, just trying to clarify what you meant.) You can have a patent on those. Copyrights are on words... like those in a book, notice the copyright? And TV shows? Those're copyrighted. Same principle should apply to radio bits. In other words, you CAN. But, no one is gonna play the tape of the other jocks doing it. If they do it verbatim, there's a solid lawsuit against them. If it's close to copyrighted material, thats a fight in court, usually not worth it.quote:Doesn't matter.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Sigh…. SeeYouNextTuesday like I said I THINK. Here is something I found about copyright laws. What Copyright Law Covers Copyright law protects "works of authorship" which include literary works such as short fiction, short stories, novels, nonfiction articles, poetry, newspaper articles, newspapers, magazine articles, magazines, computer software, software manuals, text advertisements, manuals, catalogs, brochures, and compilations of information, such as databases. Other categories of protected works include dramatic works, motion pictures, other audiovisual works, and sound recordings. Copyright law does not protect ideas, facts, inventions, processes, systems of operations, words, names, symbols or proprietary information, although it may protect the way these things are expressed. Inventions and processes are protected under patent law. Words, names and symbols used to identify good and services are protected by trademark law. Proprietary information (information secret to a business such as customer lists) is protected by trade secret law. opieanthony.com; Like a retarded yoyo, you will keep coming back.

| Psychopath Registered: May. 01 | quote: no so, my friend. There is no such thing. A patent office, yes, copyright, no. To copyright something - the easiest way is to send it via US mail to a friend. Bam. Instantly copyrighted (script etc).

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Because copyrighting only applies to the physical tangible material. In this case, you could copyright the RECORDING of the bit, and prevent anyone else from rebroadcasting that recording without permission. What you're talking about gets into intelectual property issues... copyrighting an IDEA rather than the tangible physical manifestation of that idea, whether it be a script, or a recording, etc. As others have said, ideas are not subject to copyrights.
