That's absolutely not true. Words are WAY to commonly used to be copyrighted. That's just like saying i can copyright the word "refrigerator", and sue anybody who uses it. it'd never work. [/quote]

There's a million everyday words like that, that people take for granted as simple words, but are copyrighted, but none of them are coming to me, and I don't have my media law book. Otherwise I'd take you to school. :-) You can indeed copyright a phrase, such as \"Yabba Dabba Doo.\" I don't know how effect a lawsuit is, but it is a TM of Fred Flintstone and Hanna Barbera, and I've seen it copywritten before.

ObGameShow: Richard Simmons and Jonathan Prince annoyed the hell out of me on Win Lose or Draw last week.

I think this whole lawsuit has gotten out of hand.
At this moment I share over 500 files on Kazaa, and I feel as if there is nothing wrong with it. Its just a sign of the times and the technology out there that people are going to do this.
Does the RIAA have a search warrent out for my little house little ol' Chillicothe Ohio? There is nothing that these people can do to all of us.
Just like speeding, if we all do it at the same time, can the police stop us all? NO. They could stop a few, but in the big picture is it going to make much of a difference?

This stuff has gone on, it goes on, and it will go on for a long time. So I suggest you guys stop shaking in your pants and stop saying \"THEY'RE GONNA GET US!!\"........... the only way to put an end to this is to completely unplug the internet, and i can't see that happening. Grow some balls and stop whining, worrying and all that jazz.  I think my good pal Val Wilder can teach us a few words \"Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive\"
If one person stops sharing, then the enemy has won.......
The RIAA is all about money......... that's the point.


Aight, off my soapbox now

Kevin Prather:
for my media class, i had to make a website. i wanted to title one of the pages \"You CAN make a difference!\". But i was worried it would infringe on copyright (America's Most Wanted), so i asked my teacher. he said, and i quote, \"Words and phrases are too common to be copyrighted.\"

 Yeah, but they were damn good players.

 Which would make virtually every commercial slogan useless, as far as copyrights?

A slogan is still a phrase, and I'm sure if I made a shirt with \"Can you hear me now? Good!\" that someone from Verizon could (if they wanted to waste their time) legally make me get rid of the shirt.
