To David: Have you even read my description of creative input into
restoration work? There are a *lot* of creative decisions involved in
restorations, and you seem determined to ignore this.
Also, I realise that English isn't your first language, but I was
making an analogy in the bit you quote: You were asserting that
because the sweat-of-the-brow was weakened, that it didn't exist. But
A. it's not just sweat-of-the-brow, there's also creative decisions,
and B. you yourself said that it would need to be tried in a court of
law to find out if the doctrine held, which is basically you saying
that the law *might* be on my side, but you weren't sure. C. "Bear in
mind, though, that the level of originality required by the UK courts
is quite low compared with the level needed in most other European
jurisdictions." -
