[OT] Copyrighting games?

[Mark Schonewille]

Someone mentioned websites where you can register your copyrights and my 
point is not to do this. So, yes, there is definitely an argument to be 
made. I will not get tempted to discuss trademarks.

I said there are patents for algorithms. I didn't write they're easy to 
defend and that's not the subject of discussion here. Stay on the 
subject, Lynn.
