Perhaps it's you that ought to read more... Author Ray Bradbury thinks Michael Moore's title will confuse people with his classic sci-fi novel Fahrenheit 451 and he wants Moore to change it. "He can't have my title," said Bradbury. "We've got an important film coming out [Fahrenheit 451], the book's having its 50th anniversary in October. If he wants his movie to be an homage to me, why not title it, 'Bradbury, where the hell are you now that we need you?'" (Variety) That doesn't say anything about "stealing". Bradbury claims Moore can't have his title. [poor guy] Bradbury can take him to court over the issue if the allegation is stealing. Intel tried to copyright numbers, e.g., 486 and Fox tried to copyright "Fair and Balanced". I would expect a suit by Bradbury to end with the same decision. How about the word "Aliens" used in a movie title? It's been done, would all future movies attempting to use the word "Aliens" in their movie title be stealing a movie title? jttmab
