no, your book does _not_ gain copyright.
and hold and behold a copyright notice! Oh, my gosh, they are copyrighting something
that can not be copyrighted.
The copyright is naturally, nor for the works of shakespeare, but on the book itsself.
PG has rights to the text they produce and put on the web.
You are telling me that in the Staes that if I state you can use what I put any in the public domain for
FREE distribution and state that if it is commercially used that 20% is to go to me that no court
will protect my rights and term of use! Poor America.
Here in Germany it would be a piece of cake. No matter how poorly the terms were written, as long
as it is evident that commercial use entices a fee.
You talk alot of being uninformed, how about living in the real world! Wake people.
By the way I give the right to cite this post. Though I could forbid it.
