Individual Copyrights

Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 04:40 PM EDT

You have to draw your line somewhere.

You registered your copyright
so here's your documents, manuals, specifications,
each whole works

so here's the first 25 and last 25 pages of your source code
source code = 1 or more whole works comprised of a selection of multiple files
when when bought together make a computer program

so here's the first 25 pages of the hexdump and the last 25 pages of the hex
dump of the object codes
each object code is a representation of the source codes parts (goes to define
the 'works' in the source code parts).

We request a ruling on the book, hold the source code to the same
standard(Federal rules of copyright), it will fail but we might get a package or
two, we withdraw the collection so we don't suddenly all have to panic and do
filtration, please

Van Nest: No.

Judge: Do you really need to be mean?
