What right does the state of Louisiana have to legislate that a single creator
had done the whole job.  Fairness would require that the word "Creator"
in the proposed Louisiana law should be replaced  by "Creators or Creator". 
Specifying a creator in the singular form mutually excludes the participation 
of multiple creators in the creation enterprise. On the other hand, using the
plural form "Creators" would treat all creators equally and fairly, thus,
removing the discriminatory language from the proposed law.
