I don't think so, it must be broader than that as we used to always copyright-mark PCB's.

While I admire terseness, there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. Are you saying that PCB's should be patented rather than copyrighted?
I just did what the lawyers said and for what they charge they MUST be right... Naturally sometimes it's both: patented technique implemented on a copyrighted board. I've also read in trade journals that you should claim copyright to the layout and it only takes a minute to type it on in the CAD era.

My apologies if I was being terse...
The subject of the exploitation & propaganda by the major labels is quite a sensitive subject as I (and my friends) are the direct recipients of a "failed industry." The term "copyright" as it applies to music is fraught with absurdity. IMO, unauthorized downloading of facsimile's of music recordings, (especially shite MP3s) that may or may not be "owned" by anyone is problematic at best. (Especially considering that {especially in the past}, songwriters benefited greatly from unauthorized downloading).
The term copyright cannot in any way be applicable to music recordings, and their distribution. Indeed "Re-distribution" is not really "bad," - compared to plagiarism. The greatest enemy to pop music groups has always been that group's label.
I also have friends who are intellectual property lawyers who've been so kind as to attempt to educate me on numerous occasions. Schematic or printed designs are considered copyright-able, on the way to patents or other types of "legal protections" in the IP area.
Again, I apologize as my knowledge here is a bit limited, I also didn't want to stray too far away from music, and music royalty IP.
Cheers,

Well, you prolly have a lot better grasp of the issues for electronics than I do for music. Like most things the rich or unethical have an edge.
But the systems do work some of the time and that's better than nothing. A lot of having them work is playing fairly. For hinstance, back in the early 70's I worked for a smallish outfit, maybe 120 folks or so but it was an old place and had a slough of different products. Once a year RCA would show up to figure out how much we owed them. They owned patent rights to almost everything you could imagine, stuff like Hartly and Colpitts oscillators, various implementations of amplifiers and on and on so we had to pay a royality for each instance. On the other hand the royaltys were tiny for each instance so they would just go through our products to update their data from the previous year and we'd pay them a few thousand buck royalty.
Now the nasty side of patents is where they try to, say, destroy your business rather than just share in the gains to the amount that their invention contributed to it...
