Are you joining your fellow crank in posting references which
directly contradict your thesis? You quote the court's summary of the
complaint without quoting court's disagreement with it?

Assuming arguendo that Eyal’s registration application contained
errors, misstatements, or omissions in one or more of the respects
urged by Jewelex, that does not resolve the ultimate question before
the Court.
The ultimate question the Court must resolve is whether an error,
misstatement or omission in an application for registration
invalidates the copyright. Courts considering the issue have
generally followed a liberal approach to upholding erroneous
registration applications. ... In sum: after considering each of
Jewelex’s contentions that Eyal’s copyright registration is invalid,
I conclude that they do not, singly or in combination, entitle
Jewelex to summary judgment based upon the invalidity of the
registration in suit.
Why not refer to the relevant point Hyman? You claim that Andersen's
Copyright Office registration of BusyBox v. 0.60.3 with its
contributions from multiple authors is valid. I say it isn't. So read
the relevant part of the decision:
"Jewelex argues that Eyal failed to specify the correlation between the
jewelry designs within the collection as required by 17 U.S.C. § 408(c)
of the Copyright Act, and therefore the copyright is invalid. The Act
permits registration of multiple related works under a single
copyright application. 17 U.S.C. § 408(c)(2) provides:
(2) Without prejudice to the general authority provided under clause
(1), the Register of Copyrights shall establish regulations specifically
permitting a single registration for a group of works by the same
individual author, all first published as contributions to periodicals,
including newspapers, within a twelve-month period, on the basis of a
single deposit, application, and registration fee, under the following
conditions:"
Hyman, look at the relevant material:
"... a single registration for a group of works by the same individual
author,..."
Are you so cognitively impaired that you can't understand that BusyBox
is NOT NOT NOT NOT:
1) "a single registration"
2) "for a GROUP of works"
3) "by the SAME INDIVIDUAL author,"
Most reasonably intelligent people would effortlessly conclude that the
registration of BusyBox v. 0.60.3 is not "a single registration for a
group of works by the same individual author" (except you of course).
The Copyright Act does not allow an individual to register a work that
he does not own. Is that so hard to grasp?
Sincerely,
RJack :)
