Can you actually own the copyright on ‘copyright’?

‘Copyright ©’

This is one of my favourite t-shirts so far in the blog, can anyone actually own the copyright to ‘copyright’?

Holding copyright is where you hold a set of exclusive rights to regulate the use of a particular idea or piece of information.

Usually these rights last for a certain period of time. The symbol for copyright is usually expressed using the following symbol: ©, although it can be written as either (C) or (c).


Is your dog on fire?

‘Never
Pet Your Dog When it is on Fire’

Well obviously this goes without saying but you should never pet your dog when it’s on fire. Ignoring this warning could result in setting yourself on fire, remember you need to act fast when your dog is on fire, cover it with a blanket to remove the oxygen from the fire or grab a bucket of water and throw said water over the firey dog. I hope this helps next time you find you dog in flames.

N.B. No dogs were harmed during the making of this t-shirt and we heartily discourage cruelty to animals.
