bboyminn:

If you read the transcripts, as many of you seem to have
done, you know that the WB's attorney's are continually trying 
to force the word 'copy' into questions in any and all 
contexts in the desperate hope of getting positive 
acknowledgment so they can turn around and say, see he said
he copied. 

It is a pretty untransparent and obvious maneuver.
