International Law

I just saw an ad for Seven's Today Tonight which has a report focusing on this story - Dance dispute ends in court.  The ad posed this question, "So, can you copyright a dance?"

Now, who do you think Today Tonight might contact to try to find out the answer to this question?  A lawyer, perhaps?

Maybe someone who knows something about copyright law?

No, don't be silly; that's not entertaining and moreover there is no opportunity for cross-promotion.

So, who then?  Well, this was the full teaser:

So, can you copyright a dance?
Dancing with the Stars' judges cast their verdict ?.

I know I'd want the judges from Dancing with the Stars to answer my legal questions.

Although I'm curious to actually see the report (mainly so I can just criticise some more), but instead I think I'll watch some real news on SBS ...
