> "in order to be entitled to copyright registration

Did you read this part at all?

Do you know what copyright registation is?

Hint: whether you get copyright registation has nothing to do with whether what you did was legal.

You seem to know enough of the buzzwords that this distinction should be obvious to you. Which makes me confused as to why you would misinterpret such a clear and important difference unless it was to intentionally mislead to people who aren't aware of the law.

You could even go read the first sentence of that wikipedia article to understand what it was about.

"The threshold of originality is a concept in copyright law that is used to assess whether a particular work can be copyrighted. It is used to distinguish works that are sufficiently original to warrant copyright protection from those that are not"

Notice. This is not the same as if it infringes on someone else's work.

Why did you misunderstand that article so seriously?
