Perhaps it's the actual presentation that can be covered by copyright, in the same way that if you make a pattern from an old piece of lace, you can claim the copyright on it (Ruth Bean and Miss Channer's mat come to mind). Or it's all lies but the seller hopes the false copyright claim will make people less likely to challenge him. I have written to ask on what grounds he/she feels they have copyright. It will be interesting to see if I get a response. Watch this space, but don't hold your breath :-) Unfortunately it is being sold as a 'Buy It Now' item. I write to the buyers if I find these on e-bay, telling them it's a con because they can look at and download them for free, and lots more besides. I had lots of thanks too!
