Not so, Michael

Not so. Stephen King and others would have to apply for Translated copyright protection in other languages. Take it to the bank... I know this because I own the English copyright for "the Taliban Gazette" which was written in native pashto/dari. I had it translated and got a lawyer to file with library of congress. There is a special legal term for the principle, just can't think of it.(btw, 99% of authors do this pre-emptively, Mullah Omar fortunately fell in the 1%) Check out the link below, I have a professor of Islamic law from UCLA writing the foreword and publisher lined up. Interesting details on site, scary stuff these folks were about.
