But cars are patented, which offers the same protection against product 
counterfeiting that copyright does for works.  If I had a garage making 
counterfeit Rolls Royces, I'd be violating the law just as surely as I would 
by making a copy of a tape.  And besides, the *designs" for cars *are* 
copyrighted.  And cars come from those designs just like Disney movies come 
from Disney's "movie designs".
Anyhow, I don't want to get into this again.
