Legally speaking in the strictest sense, yes, Paramount owns it all & can do what they will with it. However, in the more practical venue that both they *&* we live in, they're not going to bother with any real wish to get a dime every time somebody says the name "Jean-Luc Picard" or any of the other legally owned items -- that would be straining at gnats on _their_ part & they know it. But to prevent theft of their trademarks, they're obligated to add the {tm} or risk losing the protection of the law when some brazen thief *does* try to abscond with it big time. Any whining about the issue on the part of the fans is niggardly & totally ridiculous. As long as people don't get ridiculous about it (as a number of folks did when they expropriated someone else's legal property for their own wholesale personal use on their web sites), TPTB aren't going to get bent over it. :) --- OLXWin 1.00b Can't nothin' outrun my V8 Ford--Chuck Berry * Origin: Live\/\/ire BBS - Louisville, KY - 502-933-3217 (1:2320/110) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 108 STAR TREK Ref: EBI00006 Date: 07/12/97 From: BILL NICHOLS Time: 09:43am \/To: ALLEN PRUNTY (Read 1 times) Subj: More Canons!
