"Prior art" is patent law, not copyright law. Copyright law relies on proof of prior existence, but I don't know if there's a like term to prior art.
IMO he'd have a better case if he'd patented the trick; then he'd be an automatic winner if Dogge's version uses the same method. I think. On the other hand, there's a (probably weak) case to be made that Teller's copyright covers all methods of creating that same illusion.
It also seems to have been forgotten that there's another reactor complex at Fukushima, a few miles closer to the earthquake epicenter/tsunami source, which shut down safely and cleanly exactly as it was designed to.
As I recall, and I may very well be incorrect, the speech had been distributed on paper to some members of the press before it was given. The first copies bore no copyright mark, which was required back then. Someone realized that, and a copyright notice was applied to subsequent copies. Therefore, there certainly was an attempt to copyright it, but since it was first published without the notice, its status was in doubt. Apparently the subsequent estate lawsuit settled that though.
I'd check the facts for you, but, you know, Wikipedia SOPA strike blackout.
I'm looking real hard and I'm not seeing that. What I see is

Which means it's optional to do so, just not required.
Copyright (in the US at least) is obtained when a work is created and affixed in a physical form. No publication, distribution, or registration necessary.
Could you have a magnet powerful enough to hold this half-plug securely in its half-cradle while not interfering in any way with the tiny electrical signals being sent through said half-plug? Or might we need to surround the plug-jack assembly with several mm of insulation to isolate it from the magnet assembly?
We work on this stuff all day, we get home, the last thing we want to do now is spend more time setting up computer stuff. We instead just watch a movie

Yes I did gear, and I fab as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

"Downloading something" is not a crime unless it is some depraved shit.
Get back to us as soon as you have a legal definition for the term "depraved shit," so we can commence arrests.

This so much. I have a hard time believing I'm actually on the same side on this as Alito. -- Is it maybe just the stopped clock principle in action?

He didn't say Tea Partiers are anarchists. He said they are Useful Idiots..
That said, there are exceptions, and I'd call Burn Notice the best show on TV, which happens to be on USA Network.
Why do people like this show? I can't find anything good to say about it.

It's spelled liberry. You're welcome.
Where are my mod points when I need them. Digital is the greatest distribution format ever, but it's a lousy preservation format.
For most folks, it has nothing to do with not paying taxes - it has to do with what is the most convenient option.
FTFY.
