Some modern cult leaders would disagree and the courts tend to demand that creative works for which copyright has not yet expired is respected.... Even when written by an individual who claims to be divine.

Well until they can prove that I see no reason to give copyright ownership to something we can't even prove exists.

Anything older than 70 years after the author's death, regardless of faith, is in public domain. There may be new editions, hundreds of years on (like Charles Dickens noels), but the copyright mostly applies to that particular edition (mostly the artwork or the prefaces and extra stuff).

Weird, because the entire mythology of the Norse was only wrighten down by the time Christianity arrived...

So according to this logic Odin told Christians to wright stuff down, who they didn't believe existed.

God/Allah, who through the magical power of Public Domain makes it completely accessible for free with no restrictions. Though you might own a particular translation.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a genuine workers' state in which all the people are completely liberated from exploitation and oppression. The workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals are the true masters of their destiny and are in a unique position to defend their interests.

It is public domain obviously.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

At the very least he could have taken a hint, I mean, the Odin-guy wear an eye patch in all his disguises.
