They are only words!

[Johny]

Hi

Copyright.

If i went to a site and copied a paragraph of text and pasted it onto my
site would I be in for the chop?
They are only a few words so how can somebody say they have the copyright on
them, they have only put them together to make a sentance or two.

What do you think?

It's not so much the words, but what order they are assembled in, how many there are, and for what purpose you are using them.

What do you think?

What does it matter what I think? Will it change the law if I don't agree
with it?
