Momodot, Marvel and DC are hardly corporations filled with good hearted folks, all angels and god like. There are many many stories out there where many folks that headed those companies had and probably still have ties with organized crime. It was and might still be a place that I would not want to become too enmeshed in. You are placing both of these companies on pedestals for the sake of some churchy belief that they are in the right here. I don't agree with this spreading fear like that in a completely different field such as 3D. I have been an AVID comic book collector since I was 11 years old, I'm 45 now and have to say that this has got the be the silliest thread going right now. According to the NPR segment I just heard the copyright was created in the 60's but this is the first I have heard about it so it's not like they are going around sue happy or anything. I totally agree with many others views that if Marvel or DC Comics even tried to pull that on someone that wishes to say "I've created my own Superhero comic book" and sue that person because they have that term copyrighted they would be laughed out of the courts. If not laughed out then certainly they would be frowned upon by their peers for picking on the little guy!! I personally am not going to worry about!! I simply don't agree how you are so insistent about how we aught to know in our hearts we are in the wrong and those "law abiding" citizens are in the right. Yea, right, law abiding! Sure.... what ever! More like full of crap and of themselves. Must be lonely at the top when you have to impose your power over common words in the English language that just happen to be put together to form a term that is used the world over! :roll eyes and leaves the room: Richard :-|
