That's shifting the burden. Like it or not (for the record: I don't like this), most Berne signatory jurisdictions assume by default that a fixed expression is subject to copyright. There are exceptions, but those exceptions must be positively shown: the burden is on those who would claim copyright does not apply. -- \ “Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right | `\ there, in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to | _o__) read good books.” —Jack Handey | Ben Finney
