OT: It's a Small World After All

I placed an order with Digital Juice a while back, and it shipped on Friday. Just curious to see when it will be delivered, I went to FedEx.com to track it. And saw something odd: the lines for Pick-Up, FedEx Location, and Out for Delivery are all the same. In fact, they're all my city.

Went to the Digital Juice website to inspect their contact info and, sure enough, they're about 10 miles from my house. Edit: Even better -- the package was just delivered -- their warehouse or wherever the ship from is apparently less than five miles away. Funky. Wonder why I'd have to learn to get a job there.

(The subject line is particularly appropriate: We're about an hour from Disney World.)

Yea but its copyrighted!!

No, it's not copyrighted, because it isn't "copy."

It's trademarked.

Within one field of business.

A very common mix-up.

I was talking about the (sigh) song "It's a Small World Afterr All"
I believe it is protected by copyright not trademark, but not positive.

There are several different rights protecting the song.

That's a very complicated subject.

If you can't wait to dive into it, just search for Spot's treatise on it here in this forum :O).
