You're just flat out wrong dude. You've got some very bizarre believes about copyright law and I can't fathom where you got them. Whoever you learned from did you a great disservice, or if you 'taught' yourself then you didn't do a very good job at reading.

Thats a bit unfair; copyright is a fairly unintuitive concept if you haven't been exposed to it.

That's a fair point, but somebody without much exposure to copyright law should avoid saying inflammatory things like:

>"The internet wayback machine is one of the biggest copyright thiefs in my opinion."

If I take a video of jimi Hendrix improvising guitar, then he owns the copyright on the music, but I own the copyright on the recording
