Don't worry, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the absurdity of the whole situation.The way you've described things is indeed how things are supposed to have gone. Copyright's supposed to be a limited monopoly granted to the creator of some work. I would be quite pleased if what you wrote was actually the way things went. But as usual, when special interests with deep pockets are involved, it's all gone a little Pete Tong.
