Well there is a new movie out called "The HeartBreak Kid". Now I was just wondering couldn't WWE sue or something over copyright issue, considering that Shawn Michaels is called "The HeartBreak Kid"?

I don't think WWE owns the copyright to The Heartbreak Kid name. There has already been two movies released with that same name one in 1973, 1993, and now 2007 will be the third. Who knows though.

They won't do anything. Anyone remember the movie The Rock? Yeah, came out when The Rock was popular. Unless its wrestling-related, I doubt WWE will put up any fuss.

Plus um, the fact that the commercial is on during Raw, I dont know if thats only because of USA, but Im sure there is a reason to them not suing, Maybe they were paid. Either way, they know about the movie, ....if they watcht their own show.

Like when they were on Spike and they were airing TNA stuff. If anyone remembers that. |

According to the latest WWE magazine...HBK has a cameo in it anyway.

I will end up catching it, and probably marking out a bit when HBK pops up.

I think they only have "Heart *space* Break *space* Kid" copyrighted... therefore The Heartbreak Kid is (I think) varied enough not to be infringing on any copyrights... Either that or they don't have the copyright but I don't think that's likely... entirely possible but less likely...

Fair use comes into this:
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
A romantic comedy(debatable) has no effect on WWE's market. WWE targets the 18-34 male range, romantic comedies are targeted towards women or couples.
