if you write a php script and store it on your computer, it would have a creation date attached to it. however, if someone was able to get the code you wrote and simply change the date on their computer to a date prior to that and create it again it will have an earlier date attached to it.
if I go and register mine with the copyright department and you did not....I now own it. If you were to try to sue me for infringement...you would lose because I would have the paper to prove it was mine and I then could turn around and sue you.
My document would have an earlier date and I would hold the paper copyright....you would lose.
If it came down to witnesses....anyone can get liars and scumbags to support their story.
I will stop talking about this anymore since it seems to be breeding insanity.....this was all in the pretence of a good debate but it appears to be on the brink of out-of control.
thanks for the good debate guys....have fun
I sincerely hope you never have to try that defense in court
