It's always so much fun to reduce you to such petty lying (reduced from
the more grandious kind you usually start with). I admitted no such
thing. In fact I forced you to admit that copyright does not grant
ownership over pieces of other people's brains, as you had comically
claimed several times before.

Roy:

"It is likewise a fact of physical reality that when someone reads the
book, or hears it read aloud, the intangible story then also exists in
the reader's/listener's brain. It is likewise a fact of physical
reality that the author does not and _cannot_ possess the contents of
any other person's brain. How can he own what he cannot possess?"

-You

"?? No. A trademark restriction is not ownership of the contents of
anyone's brain, but a limitation on the uses people can make of those
contents. Like a signature. As I said."

-You, in fine Roy fasion, showing why you cannot carry on a
conversation for more than a few posts without painting yourself in to
a corner.

For weeks you carried on with the laughable line that copyright is
wrong because it grants ownership over a person's brain. At least you
have given up on that load of bull***.
