Titles aren't subject to copyright in the United States. Just the content

of
a book, movie, album, etc. So it's a moot point.


Thanks, I wasn't awaare of that.


The porn industry is quite thankful too, I'm sure, since it lets them come
up with all sorts of plays on popular movie titles.

Incidentally, while titles cannot be copyrighted, they can be trademarked.
Which is why another movie called "Star Wars" probably would not be allowed,
since it would create confusion and therefore financial damage to the Star
Wars brand, a song probably could be called that, since there is little room
for confusion in the marketplace.

Intellectual property law is fun.
