RE: the fyre-drop lens, you're basically saying it would have to be substantially different from ORIGINAL, too --- since your copyright is the original image. Who wants something that differs from original? Not me...

RE: the powerlube... It seems that perhaps you can copyright things that are already copyrighted, as long as the current owner doesn't find out about it and go after you for it... The copyright office must not be very thorough...
