No I understand copyright law, and I understand what a lawyer will tell you, but I also understand what would really happen if you got a copyright on the entire source code for the pages on your website then tried to accuse the multi-million other sites of infracting upon your website's copyright, like I said, "ain't going to happen." Theory and reality are two completely different things... one reason someone would never do this is you should be changing your website up enough every 6 months to a year to freshen it up that you'd run yourself ragged getting a new copyright for your new source every year... this is actually funny...
This is your problem. You don't understand the concept of a copyright. I would not be getting a copyright for HTML, I would be getting a copyright for my implementation of the HTML. A writer does not copyright the english language, he copyrights his implementation of the language.
You would be done if you would quit misinterpreting what I'm saying and putting words in my mouth. I never claimed to be talking about copyrighting the actual syntax... again, your misunderstanding.
Go ahead, spend the money/time getting a copyright for the ACTUAL, ENTIRE source code for your website... thing is, that doesn't mean it'd hold up in court if you tried to say these (millions of sites) were violating your copyright... what a joke!
This thread is a dead horse now, you can continue to think that you can copyright the entire source
AND actually uphold it against the millions of others and I'll continue to view reality, either way, I'm never going to copyright my entire source (my content yes, source no) and neither are you, so it doesn't matter either way.
