[pp.int.general] pirate logo copyright

[pirate at valio.ch]

Questions
1. I was unaware that it's possible to register copyrighted works in  
France. What advantages do you have?
2. I hope you registered the black sail with your slogan. You can't  
register the black sail by itself. It's in the public domain and I'm  
certain that Piratpartiet and others would consider to sue you in that  
case.
