- they also seem to reach the conclusion that the copyright in the interview is held by
the person recording it.
Of course, in the case of interviews to which WMUK was a party and conducted by journos
with whom we're on reasonably good terms, it might be possible to ask nicely whether
it's OK to use a transcript.
And failing everything, the person on the Wiki side who was interviewed can be asked to
retype their answers to a similar set of questions....

I tend to assume the speaker owns their words.
But this whole thread is surmise. Is there *case law*?
I've found this discussion of Canadian law on the subject, written by
a lawyer specialising in the subject:

English and Welsh law isn't identical to Canadian law, by any means,
but it does have a lot in common with it.
