Load X and Y from pointer at $0283 LDX $0283 LDY $0284 Loading two registers from two successive memory locations is not copyrightable. On the C64, these locations typically hold the top of memory pointer, thus even if the sequence were somehow copyrightable, which we do not admit, it is an obvious and expected sequence whenever one wishes to load the start of memory pointer into registers to be worked with. Thus it must be held to be both fair use and exempt under interoperability provisions in various copyright acts, if the defence were required.
