you are ignoring the fact that the person who received the initial legal notice did not have the video right? the studio was bullying somebody who had inquired about it, but, surprisingly, that isn't illegal in the real world.
one of the reasons i try my damnedest to never need my credit report. buy as much as i can with cash or checks. I am not a huge fan of the American debt, er...credit, system.
what i find hilarious is that i can buy a real book at $6~$7 (for most of the paperbacks i buy), and do whatever the hell i want with it, including share with my friends.
amazing how, to use a new technology, we have to give the rights we had with the old technology.
When they make books drm free and cheap, i may switch. until then, i will be buying my books made from dead trees.
a SQL statement isn't a question though.
a select statement means "Give me X from Y where Z=A"
That is not a question. It can be worded as a question, but the sql statement itself is a statement.
All in all, I do think that you can copyright a SQL, but you shouldn't. It is not like you could enforce your copyright anyway, most of the time, sql statements are completely hidden from the user, and unless this guy/company wants to go toe to toe with oracle, microsoft, or sun, they could never get any money from their "copyright".
So yes, a SQL statement is copyright-able, but that doesn't mean a damned thing in the real world.
