Patents and copyrights on literature lasts only fifty years after the writters death, so your headston will be unique for fifty years only. |
|
| |
I was thinking that, whilst the patents would work in a qualitatively similar way, original epitaphs would have a longer copyright - say 100, 150 years. Long enough for your survivors to have finished surviving. |

Now don't go ruining another one of my naff ideas with your sensible solutions, y'hear? |
|
| |
I'm not ruining it! I haven't even voted yet. |

BTW, its good to see a newbie-baker standing up for his/her self. |

Heaven help you if [scuttled] gets to inscribe your tombstone. "Here lies po, who livd a gud lif and alweys tride her beste. gave meny croisents and nay too meny a fishe." |
|

Ta, sctld. Btw, it *was* tongue in cheek.. although you did do in my tonal language pretty conclusively ;op |

<warm glow of acceptance> |

Well, after the admonition to contain myself, I felt that a rejoinder was in order :) |
|
| |
My old housemate scared me, too.. |
|
| |
I can dig it.
Nice one, yamahito. |

Something about having a little copywright circle on your tombstone is just a little weird to me. |
|

I feel a round of poetic epitaph invention coming up... |
|
| |
'Here lies Christa McAuliffe. And over there. And over there...' |
|
| |
// Not yet, please. I haven't even written the epitaph! // |
|
| |
That'll do nicely. Scribe it. |
|
| |
'The End. To be continued...' |
|
| |
I wonder if a certain musical performer might grab the rights to "Here lies the artist formerly known as living".
Or an actor/director "That's a wrap". |
|
| |
And his last words were... |
|
| |
Not yet, please. I haven't even written the epitaph! |
