Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.
So, who owns the name?
Some squatter who bought the rights to it for two twigs and a raspberry back when they were first selling off name rights 200,000 years ago
