No, I'm not woefully under equipped and you continue to miss the point or
are ignoring the point to be troublesome. I've never said, claimed or
inferred much about copyright except for the fact that people like 3D Peruna
and likely yourself if I recall trying to claim copyright is automatic and
registration is no longer required is a fallacious misconception because
only part of the statement is true and the remaining parts of the statement
which are not true have very serious implications.
I'll only say it one more time myself: once reduced to practice the
copyright must be registered or the holder of the copyright is not allowed
into the federal court to seek some remedy. If not reduced to practice
within 90 days the registration can be acquired at anytime thereafter so as
to enter the federal courts but no penalties or lawyer's fees will be
awarded. That's all there is to it. Secondly, few of us have the money to
litigate in the federal courts anyway as a typical copyright infringment
apparently runs $100K minimum.
As for 12 string guitars I have a thing for Taylors right now but I've
kicked myself in the @ss three times already for walking away from used
Yamahas being sold for $250-$350 on consignment in one of the music stores
I've hung out in. The Yamahas are perhaps the most playable 12 string I've
ever held. I currently play a Vantage which is a high quality Japanese model
but again, I'm hot for Taylors too.
