  That's Ok. To me, Techdirt is just a "news" site.

  on The Fight Over Copyrighting Klingon Heats Up, And Gets More Ridiculous
  Okrand already has stated that he created Klingon as a "work-for-hire," and that he doesn't own it.
  
  When you create something as a work-for-hire, the people paying you to create it own what you create, unless a contract states otherwise.
  
  If Okrand's contract had stated otherwise, I think he would've shared that important piece of information. Instead, he said that while he got authorship of the Klingon dictionary, the copyright of the book itself was by Paramount.

  But it is the difference between communicating out of necessity, and communicating recreationally.

  How about this Ars Technica story? Another lie?
