I took 3 semesters of Commercial Law in the mid 70's at Loyola/DePaul when I was working as an auditor at the Harris Bank (I mention that because you spent time in Chicago) None of the courses covered copyrights. As a tax professional my job is to identify income. I understand royalties, monstrously complicated things like converting BTU's to barrels then factoring in a couple of other numbers to determine a fuel credit from coal shales, I can do the infamous AMT, Partnerships, S Corps, C Corps, 1040NR returns, Clergy returns...but there is nothing in any tax training to cover copyrights....the legal expenses to recover lost income because of infringement is a tax issue....but proving loss due to that infringement belongs to the attorneys...it is not a tax preparers issue...My client/friend was merely speaking his mind..aloud while driving north at 70mph talking on a cell phone with an intermittent signal-----My Tax & trumpet chops are far more developed than my knowledge of copyright laws... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
