Now I looka at the other extreme. In theory, with copyright if you
independently create a work that happens to be absolutely identical
(say letter by letter or pixel by pixel), without even knowing about
the other work, then the result is two works each with a seperate
copyright that just happen to be indistinguishable. Of course that is
scholarly theory, and the law in the real world is ill equiped to
handle such a possibility.
This, of course, can easily happen with photography :-)
(I speak loosly above, talking about a work having a copyright. I
obviously mean that the authors or some other rights holder (such as in
the case of a work for hire) being granted a limited monopoly on
repdoucing the work, among other things.)
Cheers,
Wol
