Sorry folks have been away concentrating on watching brierfs for the last few days. Yes little old ladies extensions, un-evaluated variety, and unfortunately generating copyright. Sometimes I see something and I think -don’t look, all that’s going to happen is that you are going to generate copyright son. Nobody wants copyright about topsoil and natural do they. Most of its from dubious contexts which I have mainly scraped away at in section. God knows what I am supposed to do with it now I have got it. Put it in a report generating even more copyright. Presumably I should just forget about it. That’s what everybody else does.
I have tried talking to the little old ladies about it. I suggest that the copyright possibly belongs to them. They ask is there any value in it. And I reply that to my knowledge none that I have heard of. Although I add that if she does not pay me I will not show it to the authorities who made her employ me and they will be angry. She will be hounded until the seventh generation, is my standard reply if she asks how angry. What do they do with this copyright she asks? Sometimes they put it in a very expensive HER and then suggest that if any other digger wants to work within 1 km that they must make themselves familiar with it a bit. They also put in it to the internet. Do people pay to make themselves familiar she asks? Not if they can help it but time is money I astutely reply. The impasse is reached and I give her my bill. “What! but you will render my family to rags until the seventh generation”. The answer to that one is presumably the price for my copyright and maybe specifically for the un-evaluated variety.
But the world seems obsessed with copyright. Its not just me. It really getting to be a phomnemenon. Copyright is changing. People are getting their copyrights extended to many years after their death. Some kind of mortmain possibly for the benefit of the family and the state. It is that people had been under charging all along. Is it that institutions need copyrights extended to survive. It appears that originally copyright was introduced as an “Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright_law
Its interesting that it proposed to encourage learning as archaeology is awash with those principles. One wonders how much more the nationalists will increase these rights. There appears to be loads of things concerning copyright on the internet as FFS moplooe, is this a possible copyright infringement UK Copyright likes to point out. The internet is a relatively new phoomemenom, newer than archaeologists. The Greenwells of the 1970s probably never saw it coming and who knows what they will think of dinos “publish properly” which I suspect is laced with post modern internet irony. You would have thought that if stuff is now freely available and available for ever to everyone that people would just give up on copyright like us diggers.
Where were we
sorry shadow jack Marcus and martin. Yes it is my contention that diggers should primarily be concerned with making their money from copyright.

Quote:[SIZE=3]Oh - and just to throw another spanner in the works - copyright and the physical ownership of the material in question are/can be two separate issues.Hours of fun hay. No doubt one of the display panels which people like to vandalise. So shadow jack gets asked to draw a scene of the past and draws out from a report of a soil sample taken by a digger from a context that they had generated that willow pollen was found. Shadow jacks positions a body of water upon the canvas possibly with the defence that the willow pollen may have been intrusive caveat emptor.
