Agreed.
I think the copyright theory is sound... but as yet still unproven
I haven't managed to find any of those "iron whichever way you spell it" ads yet, but I'm still on the lookout. I wonder if there's a way to search for legal proceedings as to the copyright story - I don't have a date to work from or any idea how to go about it. Having said that, even if the copyright theory is true, maybe it was decided amicably away from the courts and so no records were kept.
