Isn't this old news? Wasn't Bradbury whining about this last week?

It's sad to see a talented writer get involved in such stupid crap. Bradbury never wrote a novel titled "Fahrenheit 9/11", so he has no cause to complain about Moore's movie. Even if Moore had titled his movie "Fahrenheit 451,' Bradbury wouldn't have a case because you can't copyright book titles.

You would think that a long time writer like Bradbury would know these simple things about copyright law. ;-0
