[edit] Trademarks and Copyrights

I changed a few instances of the word copyright to trademark in this entry because the two seemed to have been confused by the original contributer.

A trademark is not the same as a copyright. Trademarks are specific usually for brand image and also to distinguish a product's content from similar competing products. Trademarks usually are registered for short period of time and do expire by default when not being used or no longer renewed. Copyrights do not expire for long periods of time, even if abandoned. Also two (or more) different movies, books, video games, etc. can have the same name and all still all be in copyright separate from one another (An example being Crash (1996 film) and Crash (2004 film)). --KeoniPhoenix 11:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
