Copyright

"It's an absolute arse-fisting disgrace!" Roger blasted.
We were outside the high court. Roger had just failed in his attempt to sue the BBC for breach of copyright. He'd claimed that the BBC had stolen his phrase 'enhanced shittygob' and used it in an edition of Newsnight and that the words were clearly his intellectual property as he'd invented them whilst beating up a producer.
The judge dismissed the case saying it was a "load of arse".
He also suggested that, if he wanted to make similar claims in the future, he should clearly state at the time 'I hereby claim the rights to these words as my intellectual property and forbid reproduction or broadcast of them - in whole, or in part- without my express permission'.
Roger was livid and when the BBC defence team came out, he couldn't contain his fury.
"You're a bunch of thieving sod-hobbits!" he shouted, "and I hereby claim the rights to these words as my intellectual property and forbid reproduction or broadcast of them - in whole, or in part- without my express permission!"
