SCO copyright claim over call transcript

How can SCO claim copyright on the analyst conference call?

Firstly, how does SCO gain copyright of the analysts' questions?

Secondly, how can SCO enforce such a claim without running foul of stock exchange listing rules on concurrent disclosure? (You'll need to forgive the lack of specifics here, since I'm from Australia and each exchange differs in detail. But essentially, the exchange rules require the same disclosures to be made to all stock holders reasonably simultaneously.) A question to the exchange which lists SCOX seems in order.

They will probably state that because they said this, by saying anything you were accepting their claim on copyright of the call and thus handed over your copyrights.. probably get them laughed out of court, but hey that will be 10 years from now after all the appeals just to get it listened to.
