Copyright is one of those hugely misunderstood legal issues, even amongst the experts, I believe. We have been discussing this very subject on a Bonsai forum I frequent. The concensus there is that EVERYTHING is copyrighted, even this message I am typing. The moderators have decided to take the hyper-conservative (or is that liberal?) bent and do not want anything that is even remotely suggestive of being copyrighted put in a message. Some people with training and background (no copyright lawyers though) have chimed in and basically supported that feeling. I think it is the liability law suit phenomenon that has many people scared. I think the current mood is it is OK to do certain things until someone can figure out a way to sue and make money off of it!!!!!!
