I’d say Moore is well within his rights here. Did Arthur C. Clarke or
Stanley Kubrick’s estate receive royalties for Leslie Nielsen’s
parodic film? Do you really believe
that a royalty should be paid every time an allusive reference is made?

Hmmm, seems this case is different. Perhaps because MM choose it for his
title. I’m sure I’d have a difficult time starting up a department store
chain called “Wall to Wall Mart”, or a toy company called “Lay-Go” There is a
definite connection between similarly titled bodies of work here, and I think
permission should have been granted in this case first.
In general, I believe that royalties should only be paid when someone is
profitting off of another person’s work.
FWIW I think Campbell’s would have had a case against Warhol. Too bad he didn’t
try a posterization of the LEGO logo-- TLC sharks would have had a frenzy (but I
stray off-topic;-)

Bradbury can complain, but that’s too bad for Bradbury.

As an aside, are you asserting that Farenheit 9-11 is a satire and parody
and shouldn’t be taken seriously?
|
Of course that’s not what I’m asserting. Why should satire not be taken as
serious social or political commentary?
|
A regretful choice of words on my part. I meant do you believe that MM was
making reference to F451 and satirizing that body of work. Or was MM simply
trying to be clever-- perhaps too clever by half?

Well, news programs constantly use punch/pun titles, and no one complains about it (except when the torrent of stupid puns overwhelms the discourse (such as when Trent Lott pined for the days of segregation: "Lott of Trouble," "Lott of (...)
