Vigorous enforcement of copyrights themselves is an important part of the picture. But I don't think that expanding the legal definition of copyright outside of actual copyright infringement is the right move.
In regards to The Haunting people compared it to the old movie which is unfair. We didn't have the rights to the movie. I couldn't duplicate a single thing because that would have been legal infringement.
There's a lot of gimmick infringement out there but that's cool. It's a compliment. But it all started right when I first came into the Garden. I came down to 'Eye of the Tiger' and when I hit the ring with the Sheik I just put my hand up to my ear by accident and the crowd got louder. I was like 'Oh that works.'
Back in 2004 Kellie Overbey handed me her play 'Girl Talk' to read. I fell in love with her brutally delicious humor and the fearlessly deft way in which she drew her characters. They jumped off the page and begged me to give them a space in which to stomp around.
