Copyright only applies when something is placed in "fixed form" (written, audio recording, etc.). If something is merely spoken, it is not protected by copyright. So oral testimony would not be protected. However, any written testimony might raise such issues. ===== Sincerely, Matt Seitz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
