    I'm sorry but that's a copyright violation.

    Joseph Lucas - aka as the "Prince of Darkness" - has the rights to this standard. Typically http://www.kitcar.com/articles-kitcar/humordept/lucas-prince.html and other Internet sites will explain more.

  6. Re:So much insanity in that article I don't know w on The Case For Perpetual Copyright · · Score: 1

    Insanity? Oh, yes.

    For a starter Mansfield had no descendants so any copyrights would probably go to her husband, John Middleton Murry. He had a son, John Middleton Murry Jr., by his second wife and presumably the son would then have inherited these copyrights. Descendants of Mansfield? I think not.

    Second, Mansfield was a New Zealand writer living in England. Not American.

    His example is badly flawed.

  12. Re:What I find interesting on SCO Denied Again In Court · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well no.

    The trouble is that so many people bought SCO stock - shorted is the correct term in this case - in the expectation that it would be worthless in the future and they would make a killing. This hasn't happened, the case is still going and SCO are still in existent, so that the buyers are having to front up with the cash to cover the shorts. This explains the price.

    Try this link, SCO is briefly mentioned.
