Deep dives

The importance of protecting conlangs

The LCS argues that copyright is not the right tool for protecting conlangs as it would be too broad and could stifle creativity. They believe that the language itself cannot be copyrighted, while works written in the conlang and grammar materials can be. They also discuss the potential implications if conlangs were copyrightable, such as the need for permission to use the language and the fear of being sued. The LCS aims to set a precedent that conlangs cannot be copyrighted, protecting both creators and users of conlangs.
