In my country ...Thanks for your comment, woooooll,<br /><br />In my country ideas (mathematical theories, ...) are stated as "not patentable" also, however I think this is usually fuzzy (except a revolutionary invention), and the "expression forms of ideas" are just representations of the "ideas", what's essential is the difference in the "idea", not just the expression. <br /><br />Especially if it's about code -- there are no 1 million ways to code something optimally not just with a given programming language, but with a given paradigm, because the differences are not essential.<br />The names of the variables or other details are not essential, there are particular approaches to do particular tasks.<br /><br />Plain copy - to what extent? It starts with the incapability of an average human to remember without tools those data. However, what if you have memory that's good enough and you remember it, and apparently it will impact you. You're supposed to forget it, so why you've read it/perceive it. <br /><br />The same goes to the statements on the back of the covers of the books, the reference article is about that absurd issue - you're prohibited to remember the content of the book, meaning you're prohibited to read it, unless you lack memory.<br /><br />...<br /><br />The extent of difference to the original is fuzzy, structurally and conceptually two works are always identical at some degree of comparison and generalization, even if their "expression" is different at a higher resolution of perception (details).<br /><br />Expression which seems "different" to some evaluators may seem exactly the same to others (i.e. non-substantial changes *according to* someone, who evaluates it (a patent office or so). However who defines "substantial" in each case, and why?<br /><br />What's the extent of the "derivative work", what's the "basis", there are catches in those texts. Like with evolution, everything is a "derivative work" of some prior "arts".<br /><br />If your work doesn't bother the "owners", they won't do anything. If it does, they'll find you. <br /><br /><b>"State of the art"</b> or something which is a "contribution to the art", as in patent related texts, are usually very fuzzy, too. See for example some of the pathetic software patents in the USA.<br /><br />I've once checked a patent of <b>"clicking with the mouse on a graphical button in an email" or something.</b> LOL...<br /><br /><b>The problem with this terms (to me)</b> is that they state:<br /><br />-- "...are protected by copyright, patent and/or other proprietary intellectual property rights..." <br /><br />-- "the burden of determining that your use of <b>any</b> information, software or <b>any other content</b> on the Site is permissible rests with you.<br /><br />It sounds to me like:<br /><br /><b>Please don't do anything with it, because it *might* be illegal, when you do it it might be too late...</b>Todor "Tosh" Arnaudov - Twenkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922120675725429792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038575496362915977.post-70103972918037546672012-04-24T13:04:37.356+03:002012-04-24T13:04:37.356+03:00You are mixing up copyright and patent. Copyrights...You are mixing up copyright and patent. Copyrights do not apply to ideas. Patents do, but only on certain preconditions. Not everything is patentable (ideas with prior art etc). Copyright does apply to given expression form of ideas, not to ideas nor information themselves. That means, you cannot just plain copy.<br />Do you have different regulations in your country?vvooooollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364172432257252750noreply@blogger.com
