Got a big backyard and planning on building a full-scale replica of the Sphinx or some other Egyptian pyramid or artifact?
If so, the Egyptian government wants royalties.
Egypt's bold foray into the copyright world is to generate money for upkeeping its eroding national treasures.
Sounds more like a pyramid scheme -- an unenforceable one. Perhaps Egypt should copyright the sun, and charge royalties to all those who profit from it.
