Just happened to see this info on a link from the fabulous page at: http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/sfc/ncfolk.html

and thought y'all might be interested. Don't no nothin' 'bout no laws, but they seem to be pretty thorough folks.

Talking with a drama director/producer (who is on medications) this weekend....I realized one of the confusing issues with the "RIGHTS WORLD" is the difference between.....

Copyright....

AND

Patent....

The patent has a very limited lifespan
The copyright...has a longer and more persistant one.
