German newspapers want to copyright headlines:
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/06/19/ ... art_pos=26In a related quote........
"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary to the public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back."
-Life-Line by Robert A. Heinlein (1939)

Hooray at least Imgur is okay. My vast library of cat photos is safe from commercialization.

Man who designed Stormtrooper helmets beats George Lucas at a copyright trial in the UK:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12910683He can now sell them. Also, since it's not called a work of art the copyright has expired so we could technically make and sell them.
