This is one of the coolest copyright stories I've ever read, and I've even written a few. And I know what you're thinking, a copyright story?!?, I'll skip that one But wait! No, really! It's a tres cool story.
To wit: With the aid of a computer, Helyer and Drummond have notated the tones of every imaginable phone number combination and, in turn, claimed the melodies as their own. Next time you make a phone call, therefore, chances are you'll be in breach of international copyright law..."We're saying to (big business), 'Okay guys, the boot is on the other foot. If you really believe in copyright, you've got to pay'," Helyer says.
They've already copyrighted my number. What about yours? (thanks Tim & Anais!)
