No, I believe he is saying that it is never a good idea to represent yourself 
in court, and in almost all legal dealings you are better off finding an expert 
who knows all of the laws and loopholes. People who represent themselves in a 
court of law usually are fools; not always because of their ability but the 
fact that most all judges have very little patience or respect for those who do 
so. A judge wishes to have everything laid out in very specific legal terms and 
since he's had to climb the ladder to get to his high position, he does not 
care to see people not following the typical way of the land in court. Laws 
regarding international copyrights change often and people spend many years in 
studying them so it is unlikely you would be able to know everything that a 
well studied lawyer would know. Dave

  As the old saying goes: Anyone who represents themselves in court has a fool 
for an attorney.

    I think he's basically saying that we're not legal experts and copyright is 
a legal issue.

    Without the proper research and legal advice from qualified experts, you 
could be leaving yourself open to all sorts of trouble.

    You wouldn't ask a dog trainer about heart sergery for a totally stupid 
example.

    Cheers

    What do you mean when you say, "you could find out that you're your own 
worst enemy? That sounds kind of strange.

    Hi,

     

    Darren's absolutely right.  If you're operating professionally you need 
professional legal advice when drawing up license terms, etc. or you could find 
out that you're your own worst enemy. 

     

    Best wishes.

    Hi, it's Annabelle.

    I'm in the process of starting a company that sells sample libraries, and I 
have an important question for you. What does it mean when companies say  that 
their sample libraries are 100% copyright clean? I want to make sure that the 
sample libraries that I make and sell through my company are 100% copyright 
clean. How do I do this? Also, how should I write the license agreement that 
will go with these sample libraries? The first library I'm planning to sell 
will be called Way-Cool Bell Choir. I plan to sell it for $200 a copy. More 
information about my company can be found here. http://www.waycoolsamples.com
