Yep, we're a weird bunch over here some times. Several years ago Marvel Comics tried to pull a stunt on the Library of Congress when they submitted around 2500 mock-up comic book covers with computer generated titles based around the words "X-(anything), Amazing (anything), Astounding (anything)." At that time the rules for copyright said all you had to do was have a projected project and you could copyright its title and logo. They projected over 2500 new comic titles trying to keep anyone else in the world from using the above ideas. They got caught, they got, as my students say, "bitch slapped" by congress and a very substantial fine for their arrogance. We're even being told that we have to be careful citing material in scholarly research now because we can be sued for copyright infringment. That's going to make a huge impact on research in the future if the ruling is allowed to stand.
