_I_ know what copyright covers - but reading some of the weird cases in the States about the RIAA for example, and knowing that the RIAA (and the MPAA) is the source of much of what passes for "copyright" law these days - much as the big computer companies in the States are the source of what passes for "patent" law these days, I would not put it past people to attempt to game the system in that way. The system is built to be gamed.
