Sent the following to my husband at his work email address: Hi love - take a look at this! http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/copyright.txt followed a little later by a message containing the original NZNOG post. He pointed out that as an academic (whose research interests include copyright), he can access copyright material for 'educational purposes'. Damn. And that he could make a case that the owner in "circulating information about the location of the file has 'issued the work to the public' and this shifts the work from being unpublished to being published". Bugger I think that makes it husband 2, me 0 :-( At 1:43 PM +1200 2/9/11, Craig Whitmore wrote: I have made a file up and I have 100% copyright to it (as I made it). No one has any permission to view/download/copy/reproduce or anything the file except me (and there is only one of me) The file is at http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/copyright.txthttp://www.nzdsl.co.nz/copyright.txt . Do NOT download or view it or anything the file. I'm just file sharing the location of it so I don't forget the location but no one else is allowed to see it. Now lets see how many automated systems download the file or humans try and view MY file.
