German court: Copyright is held by the actual author of a work, not by who they claim is the author, even if they REALLY DO BELIEVE that the voices in their head are real.

As well, they rule that if you want to put the work in the public domain, you need to actually say so, not just claim that the real author has been dead long enough for copyright to expire.

Oh, I was hoping this would be about the cast and crew of a film being unable to transfer their copyrights to a studio.
