I just want people not to confuse my username Octaian with Otacon from Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty. Octaian is a reserved name. I am not spamming, but saying this because the name Octaian is in my novel I am writing.

Somebody's using Blackmarch in a Diablo novel...
I came up with that name way before diablo was even on the scopes, I shoulda had it copyrighted.
<Sigh> Oh well....

I don't think you can be nicked for a user name. Think how many people have copy written names on chat clients such as AIM? It'd be law suite hell.

In all honesty, unless you've registered that title as a trademark, your copyright is only any good when it comes to trade. In other words, until you've trademarked the title, anyone can use it for just about anything. A word cannot be intellectual property, and thus basic copyright does not protect it.

True that, I work in media, so if we want to use footage for something thats not being paid for or publicly distributed, we can use anything we want without worrying about legal problems, one money is involved, or public distribution, than we need permission.
