Title: Copywrite Post by: ronnie21 on Sunday, August 5, 2007, 19:29:13 Probably be better if you went for a patent if you have invented something "worth millions", copyright is only for the written word. Oh, your spelling is not quite right!!
Title: Copywrite Post by: Bushey Boy on Sunday, August 5, 2007, 19:31:11 Ha, Ronnie my speling is always wrong! Cheers for that, doubt its millions but its a simple thing most homes would be interested in. Guess its all down to manufacturing costs etc, im off to China!

Copyright is only for the written word, and you can't actually register copyright, it just works automatically. With a patent you have written proof that it is your idea Title: Copywrite Post by: Bushey Boy on Sunday, August 5, 2007, 21:06:59 Cheers Reeves!

No voicemail pic messages etc. To make a call they press teh one button and they can connect to a operator who then asks who they want to talke to:-
OAP: Hell, I want to talk to my son Operator: ok, at work, home or mobile Then they connect. Charge say £50 to connect, the system would be an ericksoon phone system like these large corporates use. This idea will get done one day, sadly it would cost so much to set up. Title: Copywrite Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, August 6, 2007, 14:00:29 my nan is shocking at using her mobile, i think she gave up in the end. this would probably work to some extent.

Quote from: "Bushey Boy" OAP: Hello, I want to talk to my son. Yeah my mums the same and shes only 60! Had to take voice mail off as she couldnt answer it in time! It would work and the Pensioner market is the biggest one in the world! Title: Copywrite Post by: oxford_fan on Monday, August 6, 2007, 17:10:24 and by 2020 something silly like 70% of the population will be over retirement age
Title: Copywrite Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, August 6, 2007, 23:34:43 Everybody's thought of that idea though, I think they might have even invented something similar already.
