If game scores were ever genuinely copyrighted it would be the death of chess as we know it.

I think the stronger argument was the unfair competition one. If Chessbase had won on that the games still could not be copyrighted, but only not be relayed "live".


I guess I am missing something. IF Chessbase won on that?

Chessbase argued that the games were copyrightable, being inherently a database, and also that it was unfair competition. Of course, they lost both arguments.

There is still the appeal, though.


Are you sure you don't have it backwards?

The Bulgarian Chess Federation argued that the games were copyrightable, being inherently a database, and also that it was unfair competition. They lost both arguments against ChessBase.
