The fate of the trapped miners was only known when a note was attached from a drill telling the world all 33 were alive. The miner Joe Pjeda who wrote the note now owns the copyright.
"Jose Ojeda penned the note "Estamos bien en el refugio los 33" ("We are okay in the refuge, the 33 of us") which was discovered attached to a probe 17 days after the mine collapse.
The message brought hope to the nation and was seen on many flags, mugs, and T-shirts during the rescue operation."-BBC
By gaining copyright they hope the words used will not be mis-used in the future and no one else will profit from them.
"AFP quotes Mario Gomez as saying: "I'm extremely exhausted from being besieged by the press, tired of all the events and appointments with officials... I hope that all of this quiets down pretty soon"."-BBC
