DJ, that was a response to ASM saying this...
DJ, Farenheight 9/11 wasn't parody so it doesn't fall under that exemption. And while it's not an exact copy of the name it's very close to it and is clearly is trying to use a connection to the book (opressive governments)... and wasn't authorized. So I'd say that he does have a case, yes. Would he win? Maybe not. But he probably has a case. I just doubt that he'll actually take it to court, given all the free publicity for his book.
