What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I've written a Greyhound Racing Program , that will generate various statistics for the dogs competing in the race. This is an Excel program written in VB6, and it gets its data from a subscription based program called Quickdog. I have the Quickdog's owners full agreement that I can produce and sell this program, in fact he helps me market my program. The program contains a greyhound pencil handicapping method called the WOFS SPEED method, which people have paid in the past, thousands of dollars to obtain this method with the hope of becoming rich playing the greyhounds. I obtained this pencil capping method from a dissatisfied buyer of this WOFS method who claims it's junk, and that he was swindled. Supposedly this buyer signed a release that he would not reveal the handicapping method. Also the developer of the WOFS method claims it is copyrighted. I had heard that one cannot copyright an idea or method. I am wondering if I can get into trouble selling my program, if it contains the WOFS Method.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
