Read this S-L-O-W-L-Y and then think about it very, very carefully before responding:

>>> "By a strange coincidence, he (Ray Bradbury) also wrote the movie script..." <<<

No, he did NOT. The movie was adapted by Francois Truffaut, who wrote the screenplay; additional dialogue was contributed by David Rudkin and Helen Scott.

Ray Bradbury wrote a B-O-O-K, not a movie; the BOOK title may be very close to the author's "chest" but even a respected author of the calibre of Ray Bradbury can't place unreasonable demands on another medium simply because someone has cleverly appropriated a mere portion of the title for symbolic purpose.

>>> "Whether or not Bradbury will do anything about it is up to him." <<<

I think that he's too smart to file suit in a case which has little or no merit; I'm equally confident that his business lawyers have informed him of this as well.

>>> "I am not taking any sides on this." <<<

Yeah, right; I bet that you're still trying to sell that nice big bridge over the East River too, aren't ya? ;^)

>>> "But to say he has no case here, simply because the offender happened to share your ideology, shows lack of integrity." <<<

1) In my humble informed opinion, NO "offense" was commited.

2) You are assuming without justification that ideology is my sole motivation in educating you about rights issues; I realize that you're a proud man and don't like someone familiar with artistic rights matters correcting your misimpressions, but perhaps you should look upon it as good opportunity to dismount your high horse and acknowledge the voice of experience.
