From: Chiaki Ito MAIL COM> Date: 28 feb 2001 Subject: Re: Copyright protestion of shogi games? Yes, it is. A pro told me that their games are "properties" of the Federation. He also told me that when he competed in an amateur tournament years ago as a pro, the Federation told him this so he had to request a permission from them to publish the game for other organization.
