ScotchMonkey: I copyrighted "is" and "The" so pay me.

rtcvb32: I'm half tempted to try for copyrighting 0 and 1, as per used in digital systems, then if I get it I can sue anyone that released anything on any computer or used any software because binary uses 0's and 1's in it's system and it's utterly unavoidable. Although getting 0 OR 1 would do the job too :P
Or copyright the act of carbon based reproduction. Think of the royalties! We'll be zillionaires!

I thought there would be law to prevent this kind of things. Imagine if we can't say mickey (Mutual Irregular Clocking KEYstream generator) or mouse just because mickey mouse is owned by disney and we would be sued by them. That would be kind of goofy, like saying Pluto is a planet.

JMich: I'd add that the $1 must be paid to the accused if the DMCA appears to be erroneous.
I like the idea of paying the accused. That should take care of Wikipedia's running costs. :)

Though I'd go for a higher sum and get rid of the nominal fee.
