The threshold of originality is a concept in copyright law that is used to assess whether a particular work can be copyrighted. It is used to distinguish works that are sufficiently original to warrant copyright protection from those that are not. In this context, "originality" refers to "coming from someone as the originator/author" (insofar as it somehow reflects the author's personality), rather than "never having occurred or existed before" (which would amount to the protection of something new, as in patent protection).Copyright finds its international commonality in the Berne Convention that creates the foundation of several concepts of international copyright law; however, the threshold for attracting copyright is not defined. This threshold is up to each jurisdiction to determine. While works that do not meet these thresholds are not eligible for copyright protection, they may still be eligible for protection through other intellectual property laws, such as trademarks or design patents (particularly in the case of logos).

Evening,
I’ve just put an offer on a house without thinking too much of the electrics. It currently has 2 electric showers and an electric oven.
If we buy it I’d like 2 x 16A commando sockets installed in the garage so I can run my air compressor (2.2kW) and MIG welder. I calculated that the...
We’ve removed a strip light from the kitchen and discovered loads of cable behind it. Loops from different plugs and switches so it can’t be removed. It was easily hidden in the big light but ive bought a light with 3 spots on a pole and the rose bit is pretty shallow. the wires can’t be pushed...
Hello, we have just had a replacement hob through warranty, the electrician who came to fit it said it needs ho5rrf cable when we have 6mm. He wants to replace the entire cables. My house was only rewired 3 years ago. Does this sound ok, or would it be cheaper to buy adifferent hob that...
Hey guys. Embarrassed to say but I've been living here for almost 5 years now and I've never had my kitchen lights working properly. Can someone possibly help me with some advice to wire these in properly?
The other day I switched out all my old plug in outlets and light switches for new...
Hi, I'm trying to replace two 3- way switches but there are one too many wires. Can you help?
Each has a red and black wire which I've connected to the bronze screws (as they were before).
There's also a black wire that connects the black(common) screws on both switches.
But then there's an...

I'm fairly certain the answer is yes. But I've drilled a hole for an LED downlight and unfortunately it's busy with cables. Moving it will be a hassle due to the spacing of the other lights, just before I do - are the LED lights somehow such low temp that I could in fact just keep it here...
I’ve seen 3 or 4 quotes for cu changes in the last few month from other electrical firms

I'd like to install a new bathroom light. The new light has simple press and insert connections.
The old light (since it is connected to a bathroom fan as well) has 3 neutral cores, 3 earth cores and 2 (or maybe 3?) earth cores.
I know they won't fit into the new press and insert connection -...
Who could dismantle and remove a large fridge freezer? The previous owners left it when they vacated and it has now broken. Our kitchen is in the basement and we think the stairs were replaced after the fridge was moved in as it now will not fit out by a long way

The cables are too short, and they do no stretch the extra distance to cover the backbox. Ive been told about these...
Hi
I have ceiling boxes in my garage for old fluorescent lights. I want to install a single outlet in them to support new led lights. The existing boxes are round and the screw holes are 2.75 “ apart. I can’t find a way to adapt a 4” outlet plate to this box. Is there an adapter available?
