Will Irdial also be suing Boards Of Canada, then? There's a
sample of one of the Conet Project tracks on one of the
tracks on their "Geogaddi" album...

You just take your frustrations out on us then? :-)

isn't true. If he's correct that copyright exists in the
recordings, then it's yours. You don't need to do anything
to copyright it, it just exists. Further, unless you
formally handed over the copyright to him, rather than
merely gave him license to use the recordings, the copyright
is still yours.

Interesting but...

<rant> '"phonetic alphabet" letters -- the abbreviations
pilots use ("alpha" for a, "bravo" for b and so on).'

It's not the "phonetic" alphabet. That is the one used in
dictionarys to demonstrate the "phonetics" of a word
allowing pronunciation. </rant>

What will you be buying with your royalties Simon?

No, but thanks for the offer H. I'm kicking myself more
for the fact that when I moved house in 2000, I didn't
need to sell my old one and kept it empty for 6 months.
After that time I had to start paying council tax on it
again, so I sold it for 30k. The same houses are now
going for 105k! That's what hurts most ;-)

Still, I wouldn't trade being fit and healthy for
105k, much.

I agree. Even if you gave him permission to use them in his
recordings, you didn't give t'other lot permission and
therefore they were breaching your copyright, not his
(unless they also included significant sections of his own
work). Copyright is an automatic right, there is no need to
register it like there is with a patent. Can you prove the
"stolen" track is your recording and not one he made as he
claims? Presumably if it includes a random sequence of
letters, the probability of him being able to record exactly
the same sequence as you had would be very low.

The first definition from the 1913 Webster's Revised
Unabridged Dictionary is " 1. Of or pertaining to the voice,
or its use."

The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is used to spell out words. With
the voice.

I think we should start a campaign to educate people that
Ordinary bicycles are not ordinary and that Ordnance Survey

You'd be surprised! As I said, I was involved in an
argument over this with a university student. A large
number of people who encountered this "phonetic alphabet"
relatively early in life ended up thinking that that was
the meaning of phonetic.
