Next we look at what a copyright owner is. Must the holder be human? Where is that defined? Now we move on to the comparative aspects of non-human copyright.

Of course it would be cool to see some of the potential applications make their way back into Dr. Who.

He was great as the invisible guy in Heroes, but I've never seen him anywhere else.

I think he's playing John Lennon in some hbo or showtime special about Him and Yoko.
