>You visit the restaurant that Copycat was known to frequent during his lunch hours. It was a small seafood place populated by those who took their fish seriously. When asked about Copycat, the owner beamed. "He was one of my best customers. In here every day. Always had my special calamari. Say, Lawbot, you know lots about copyright... Do you think I could copyright my calamari recipe so that no one else can make it?" You set the restauranteur straight, explaining that copyright protects execution of creative work, not ideas. What's more, copyright protects literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, but only if they are original and fixed in a tangible form. His recipe counts as an idea or process. Even if he were to write it down and publish it, he wouldn't be able to copyright the list of ingredients. The restauranteur thanks you for your advice and mentions that the day Copycat disappeared, he had mentioned something about a visit later to a company called GAME SEE or something similar. You immediately realize that he means GAME-C, the Group for the Advancement of the Manufacture of Entertaintment Cubes. What would Copycat want to visit them for?
The plot thickens...
Do you visit the offices of GAME-C
or go back to the office to do a little research?
