The statement I originally made was that copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. Right from the very beginning I made it clear that it wasn't the usage of a name (such as Spock or Kirk) that was the copyright violation, but the usage of the creative work behind it. Your more recent link is exactly the same situation again, except referring to a short phrase rather than a name, and actually backs up my earlier posts about copyright extending to the creative concepts behind the actual words themselves.
My argument has remained consistent throughout this thread, so I'd appreciate it if you'd stop attacking straw men.
