International copyright law
more from blah

I have recently learned that my phone number has been copyrighted by Magnus-Opus, a company in Australia. They used a computer to generate 10 billion phone numbers, and then they generated the sound of the numbers being dialed. Then they filed copyrights on those phone numbers. Now, every time a phone number is dialed, it violates international copyright law. Don't believe me? Check your own phone number, and then read their license agreement which you can fill out to obtain the rights to the sound of your own phone number.
