Just because something is entitled to copyright protection does not mean mean that every instance that closely replicates it will be an infringement. The same thing applies with trademark law. (That is why two separate trademarks can have the same name (i.e. Delta Faucets and Delta Airlines)). Further, some of the instances you propose might fall under fair use exceptions.

Whether or not something qualifies for protection does not necessarily mean that every usage will result in infringement, and I think you are confusing the arguments.
