# Its pretty cool, I suck at flash.
As for q 3, in England, as soon as you create an original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, you become the owner of the copyright, ie, an inalienable, assignable right to control the reproduction of that particular work. If there is sufficient skill, labour, effort and judgement in its execution, even if it is similar to an existing work, there is no infringement of copyright. Copyright protects the expression of the idea, not the idea. Ideas are not copyrightable. Parodies are still capable of breaching copyright, you can still potentially face an action for a breach with a parody.

This is the sum total of the knowledge I garnered from a year of Intellectual Porperty Law. It is based on my memory of it, and therefore may be incorrect.

DOWN WITH COPYRIGHT!!!
