  • The FOP issue is recurrent over here. To make it short: they dismantled the old -non copyrighted- lighting and made a new one (I need to see what it actually brought) and claimed copyright over it. I wonder how this would stand in court against a good lawyer. There's also a "citation right" which allows one to show part of a copyrighted material under fair use. Mostly vague concepts which infinite understanding IMO (of course I'm all but a lawyer...). I knew this when I upload this pic, and I added a warning notice, which has been removed since, so I thought it was settled. - Benh (talk) 17:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • To make it short, there is a copyright claim about patents and mark on the lightning i.e. BULLSHIT they intimidate people with industrial property and claims intellectual property about it. Only case in court was about a special lightning show with dynamic lightning. Of course to be sure it would need to be tested in court and backed up with jurisprudence but we don't have that so we don't need to invent something until a court say so. --PierreSelim (talk) 18:01, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
