I wouldn't mind betting that the rights of E=mc^2 are also owned by them, also (??) (I may stand corrected on this bit though …)

PS: Here ya go ...
Just goes to show you....if you want your work to be the property of everyone, for the benefit of all, you have to get that in writing and make it legal before you nod off. Otherwise anyone with $$$$ in their eyes will take advantage of the situation and co-opt your life's work for the sake of "posterity". As for piccies, they are really the copyright of the people who take the damn things in the first place. Unless they sell them to someone else.

If E=mc^2 is copyrighted by that mob, then everyone is in trouble.
