Curious as to what the different is
Reason I am asking (and I have had a fair bit of experience in copyrights to do with music) is if someone bought copy written plans to build say a kids toy can one build more than one of the original plans i.e. the plans haven't been copied!!
Can he sell the toys he builds
My understanding is the copy write owner has to patent the psychical thing to stop this (or get a written agreement from the person he sold the copy written plans to that they will only make one)
Is this right
Just like the music Industry has a copyright on the written music score and a mechanical copy write on recording the music and a performing right on performing in public
And where does House plans you buy online fit into this
As most are overseas
I would assume copyright laws are different in the states do they have any weight here in Australia
Can these online plans be build in quantities here because of this
