quote:Remember, this is a recording. The words are (by definition) "fixed." Some types of recordings are most DEFINITELY subject to copyright.
There is no such thing. Spoken words do not have copyright protection. Copyright only attaches when things are fixed, and therefore subject to copying.
Trump even cited purported legal authority for his position. Again, that authority does not "smell right" to me, but (if correct) it would seem to support his argument.
quote:Yes, I already said that. It is part of why I don't think that his purported authority ultimately passes the "smell test."
If spoken words were copyrighted, Trump could sue any reporter who reports, without his explicit approval, what he says
