Why did you moderate my last post, it was not a link to the speculators report, and it was not word for word from his report? It was relayed in my own words after reading the report. There is no copyright breach???????????????

A copyrighted work may contain elements which are not copyrightable, such as FACTS, ideas, themes, or content in the public domain.

This is especially true, when the speculator publishes general information that he borrows and is contained in company reports, of which are listed on the ASX for the general public and share holders to see and read.

A plaintiff alleging misappropriation, must first demonstrate that what the defendant appropriated from the copyrighted work was protectible.

Second, a plaintiff must show that the intended audience will recognize substantial similarities between the two works.

The intended audience may be the general public, or a specialized field. The degree of similarity necessary for a court to find misappropriation is not easily defined.

The test for infringement of a copyright is of necessity vague, and in particular, when the speculators reports are based on published fact lifted from company announcements, how can there be any breach of copyright if some of those facts are published in a forum like this?
