[stylist] Title Replication & Audible Users?

[Donna Hill]

Joe,
As far as I know, titles are not copyrightable. There are many songs and 
books with identical titles. I think, however, that if something is 
trade-marked, like Harry Potter, for instance, that you'd have to get 
permission or acknowledge that in some way if you wanted to use it in a 
title, but I'm not sure how that works.

I'm curious about Audible. I theoretically got a free download from them 
when I purchased an Olympus digital recorder several years ago, but I 
never did it.
