A copy of a fax – what’s the beef?

September 25th, 2006

I’m confused or I have confused myself today. A fax is a copy of something sent to you. Facsimile means copy. So if you have a copy of a fax that means you have a copy of a copy, right? So if you photocopy the fax does that mean you have a copy of a copy of a copy? And can the original fax be classed as an original when it’s a copy in the first place? Is the original fax merely a copy and can never be an original?

My loins can’t go on anymore!

    If you had stamped the copy with a rubber “COPY” stamp, it would then technically become an original as there would be no other with that stamp, so by marking it as copy you actually turn it into an original… figure that one out!
