Line 323:
** Amusingly, United States courts have ruled that copyright traps are not, themselves, copyrightable, because to let them be so could a produce a [[Logic Bomb]] situation where an error in listing facts (which themselves are not copyrightable) might result in copying a "false fact" which itself would violate copyright.
* Similarly, dictionaries, encyclopedias and other reference works may include [[w:Fictitious entry|fictitious entries]] intended as copyright traps. For instance, in 2005 the ''The New Oxford American Dictionary'' included an entry for the non-existent word "esquivalience", defined as "the willful avoidance of one's official responsibilities", as an explicit copyright trap.

* Copy-Protection on [[Laserdisc]], [[DVD]], and [[Blu-Ray]] had been quite common for many movies and shows to prevent viewers from making bootleg copies.
