How can you prove that it came from a movie? You can not copyright words else no one would be able to say anything. That's what trademarks are for.

- hyperman1 8y agoeasy from the perspective of this law: build a db of every line spoken in every movie. Then block all posts containing a line from this db. If this blocks too much, dang provides human appeal. UPDATE: To be clear, I am very much against this law. The collateral damage will be immense. But the politicians who want this law, they simply dont care.

- yspeak 8y agoOf course you can copyright words. If you couldn't there would be almost no books and publishers would be out of business. Trademark is not copyright, it's for branding and it's only purpose is to indicate the source of a product and avoid brand confusion and others trading off a company's good will.
