Re: [Callers] Dances licensed with CC or similar

David wrote: This assumes, however, that a specific sequence of common figures constitutes a copyrightable work by the author. I am not at all convinced that this is the case. If I conjure up a dance, on the spot, at a gig and call it using my own instructions I don't see how anyone can claim that they already "own" the rights to that sequence of figures. They can copyright the *name *of the dance, the *book *they publish it in, and any *comments *they may make about the dance--but to take legal action on the sequence of figures alone would be a fools errand. I think their "case" would never make it to court. Just a thought. Greg McKenzie West Coast, USA
