You cannot copyright the title of a book - and neither can
you copyright
>a line from a poem.
Thanks. But are there any, um, standards, typical practices,
or industry
covenants regarding book titles? Such a thing as a decent
interval? At
least more than the 4 years between Camus' _The Stranger_ and
Orson Welles'
film of the same title? Or even more than the ten years
between Block's
title and Cormier's? Would seem in the interest of all
concerned to have
some kind of understood agreement in this area.
