What's unusual about "scenes a faire"? It basically means "independent creation of what ends up looking very similar", or in biological terms, "convergent evolution" - two animals that end up looking very similar due to environment pressure, despite being genetically very unrelated.
Cheers, Wol

Nothing unusual about "scenes a faire". What I found unusual was that this was described as unusual. But then again, maybe that isn't so unusual for Joe Mullin.

I get the impression that Joe Mullin should have hung around PJ. He doesn't seem to understand what he's writing about. But... There's an interesting link included in the second article to a paper on the Public Domain. I've only started to read it, but like what I see.

Hmm...
I've only just glanced at the first few pages of that Public Domain article, but it reminds me of a comment by a composer (reference long forgotten ... :-) "If the typical contract assigning copyright to a movie studio was strictly enforced, composers would never write another work again".
Bit like programmers take code snippets and ideas from job to job ...
Cheers, Wol
