Next thing you know, you'll flip open a magazine and find:

	FAMOUS COMPUTER COMPANY SUES THE CHURCH
	claims use of "fruit from forbidden tree"
	a violation of copyright.

	[xxx] company spokesman claims that not only is
	the use of said fruit a flagrant violation of
	company's "look and feel" policy, there is a further
	factor of "taste" involved, so the issue now is :
	"look feel and taste".

	The company seeks a court injunction to ban further
	distribution of the bible "until the churches revise
	the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament".

	When pointed out that the Book of Genesis was out
	quite some time before the company's first computer,
	the spokesman says, "Look, we have copyright and that's
	it, if their lawyers are as smart as ours, they would
	have filed for patent a long time ago".  


	SPREADSHEET COMPANY SUES SESAME STREET.
	"use of x x x 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 illegal"

etc etc.

The above articles are entirely fictional, any resemblance to
any institution is a remarkably mind-boggling coincidence.
