here is an example to consider:
iron maiden did a song based on frank herbert's 'dune'.
they wanted to call it 'dune', so contacted herbert for permission.
frank refused permission,either wanting money,or wanting not to be
associated with >that< kind of music,i forget which.
so they called the song- 'to tame a land'.they changed nothing in the
content,only the title.nothing ill happened,they were never sued,
so i imagine it comes down to an interpretation,which is probably
allowed.  idunno<shrugs>  rj
