You need to read up on [[:en:copyright]], bub.
Ha, ha, very funny, bub-you. If it is just knowledge then it would fall into the public domain as the expression would be totally uncreative. I don't think you don't have good comprehension skills. Perhaps you did not read that part where I said "it is so generic as just to be knowledge" such generic expresssion cannot be copyrighted, or if it is subject to copyright it is so de minimus as to be trivial. You cannot copyright a sentence such as "New York is the financial capital of the world." It is trivial expression, believe it or not.
(BTW I am a entertainment lawyer, I know what I am talking about, what are your qualifications as a copyright expert?).
