It all started with a simple email:
To: Joshua X. Claytor
From: Andrew Johnson
Hi,
I think you need to be a little more careful titling your articles, or at least give credit where credit is due. My Worlds report on Mindripper, 8/23, bears that title.

And then, later, on #mtgwacky:
<AndyJ> Hi
<AndyJ> I have a question
<AndyJ> so
<AndyJ> On 8/23
<AndyJ> my worlds report
<AndyJ> titled
<AndyJ> The Long Road Up
<AndyJ> Was put up on mindripper
<AndyJ> and then dude on starcity
<AndyJ> Lords of Atlantis: The Long Road Up – Grand Prix Minneapolis *40*
<AndyJ> lords of atlantis is is semi-man-loving column title
<AndyJ> is that cool?
<AndyJ> Is that kosher?
And yet, strangely enough:
Gary Wise, The Long Road Up – 10/19/00
Gary Wise, The Long Road Up – 10/20/00
…almost a year before Andrew Johnson came up with this title that he is so distressed about not getting credit for.
So who owns the copyright to the”Long Road Up” title?
Just to ensure that nobody will ever have a lock on the”Long Road Up” title, several StarCity writers decided to make sure that they could all claim it as their own. Enjoy.
