Ray Bradbury has pretty strong opinions about Michael Moore.
“Michael Moore is a screwed a—hole, that is what I think about that case,” Bradbury said according to an English translation of the story. “He stole my title and changed the numbers without ever asking me for permission.”
Continued the author: “[Moore] is a horrible human being – horrible human!”
When asked if he agrees with Moore’s political positions, Bradbury replied, “That has nothing to do with it. He copied my title; that is what happened. That has nothing to do with my political opinions.”
No doubt. Sort of like that scumbag who stole a line from Macbeth for his book.

Ah, yes, but Shakespeare wasn’t alive to whine about it.
MacBeth is in the public domain. You have no cause to snark at Mr. Bradbury.
You can’t copyright a title, and Farenheit 451 is not a trademark. Mr. Bradbury has no legal right to restrict the use of the term. Back in your court.
