   Semantics? Hardly. Thank God-Man you’re not a copyright lawyer. You have no clue how its applied or even what it is. Give it up. You’re so far in the wrong that its ridiculous.

   You can’t own ideas. Copyright is lifetime plus 70 years for the creator, and 120 years for corporations. Our founding fathers actually drafted copyright clauses before they even drafted the constitution. It was 14 years, and if you were still alive, you could renew for another 14 years. There was no corporate copyright. The point of this was so that people couldn’t squat on copyrighted works and that the benefits of passing such material on to the public domain was to further innovation and public creative works.

   WRONG. Copyright law in 1955 was 28 years initial with a renewal of another 28 years. So, Lady & The Tramp would be public domain by, DUN DUN DUN! 2011.

   Currently, copyright can be held for the life of the creator plus 70 years. Corporate copyright can be held at time of copyright until 120 years. Our founding fathers set copyright at 14 years initial, plus 14 years renewal.

   That’s NOT how copyright works. Trademarks must be enforced or else they are lost, not copyright. They are NOT the same nor are they interchangeable.

   @TimWeaver: That was a good one! :) Made me laugh way more than the actual strip itself!

   Yeah, McGruder stopped doing the strip so that he could focus on the TV show. The show is a rather different in tone. (a lot more aggressive and incendiary humor) I find the show funny, but I can see how it might be a bit too much for some who are used to the more subdued nature of the comic strip..
