[Coco] [Color Computer] Need to know if I'm in safe waters here

[Al Hartman]

I think what you all are going to find more of a problem is whether 
or not the Copyright Holder is willing to defend the copyright.

It doesn't matter if you think that Donkey King isn't 
copyrightable... (It is if it hasn't been challenged and denied 
protection).

At this point, most Coco Software authors probably don't care to 
enforce the copyright. There's no upside for them. There's no money 
to be made.

Some may deny permission because they just don't want to be bothered 
getting even a single tech-support email.

I have rights from the owner for all the Zebra Systems, Inc. in-house 
software. I wrote a couple of them, and consulted/co-designed a lot 
of the others (not to mention authored the manuals).

But, no matter what... NOBODY has the right to usurp the ownership of 
the software by the Copyright Holders. If you want to get the 
copyright denied... Be prepared to hire an expensive lawyer and go to 
court.

Otherwise, every copyright is valid.
