Farenheit 451 is a copyrighted work, to be sure, but it seems to me that the
laws protecting satire & parody should easily trump Bradbury’s objection to
Moore’s allusive use of the title. I suppose an issue could be made in that
Bradbury was apparently made to expect an explanatory phone call from Moore,
but beyond that...?
Thoughts?

What is Ray whining about? It gives some attention to his book, and parodies of
an actual book/film/play titles are a long standing tradition in this country.
