So if anyone who has done a section 12(?) DPA notice makes a request to BT this way then BT phail?

I realise I've just pirated a significant amount of text from a (presumably) (c) BT page. Oh, whatever. Go ahead and sue BT... my first defence witnesses will be, er, BT and that Kent bloke since they've convinced me that anything "on that t'tinterweb thingy" = public domain

You've just given me a good idea. If someone is ballsy enough to do it, they could make the point that everything on the web isn't quite public domain in the sense that BT mean by actually copying BTs website and all its logos onto a different domain - perhaps call it 'btsucks.com'.

Are they going to sue for copyright infringement? If so, wouldn't this undermine their assertion that if it's on the web it's free to use and exploit?

Anyone up for it?
