Of course it can be copyrighted. Bluetus Jan 17 #19

No. That's not true, and they don't claim copyright. See this: highplainsdem Jan 17 #20

I don't think you understand copyrights. Bluetus Jan 17 #22

You're still 100% wrong, because you ignored this paragraph: highplainsdem Jan 17 #23

What you are citing is only an opinion by the copyright office and that is not binding on anything. Bluetus Jan 17 #24
