... a book title. There is no protectible interest in book titles (that is, they cannot be copyrighted or trademarked). Book titles are in the public domain and can be used (or reused) by anyone.

As for "Fahrenheit 9/11", it is actually a very clever play on Ray Bradbury's book title "Fahrenheit 451" (coincidentally, I watched again on TV just a couple of days ago the movie based on Bradbury's book). Moore was trying to draw attention to the parallels he sees between the fictional government in 451 and our government post 9/11. Whether or not you agree with his perceptions, the polemical device was quite effective.

Would that be as opposed to the overpaid corporate conservatives who don't actually do squat for the real people????

At least the Hollywood types get their money honestly, as opposed to, let's say, Ken Lay & his cohorts at Enron and the other energy providers and traders who ripped off the "real people" of California to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars.
