i got a question on this whole copyrighting, trademark
thing.
now "outer limits" is two dictionary words, how can
they claim that they own this phrase ? its not its an
invented word like "jello" or "frisbee". and thier not
even in the same business, its not like 2 TV shows are
called outer limits.. does anyone know how this works
?
