Letter: We can fix it

Published 9 January 2013

From Martin J. Greenwood

MacGregor Campbell need not worry about the manufacturer of his kettle claiming copyright when he prints a new handle (15 December 2012, p 46).

They are more likely to be concerned that the kettle’s planned obsolescence has been foiled. They would prefer Campbell to buy a new kettle.
