I had a disturbing correspondence (resulting from one of the long flaming copyright threads that I tend to get involved in, on another forum) with a Princeton IP law professor who pointed out some surprising loopholes in copyright protection, so I would err on the side of defending all IP similarly. I cannot prove it will help, but I have reason to suspect it might, and it certainly can't hurt.
