In Reply to: Song title as title of novel posted by Scott Keevil on October 01, 2001 at 08:29:29:

: I understand that titles cannot be copyrighted, but are there any constraints about using a popular song title as the title of a novel. The story line of the novel is not based on the song, but we would like to indicate that it was inspired by it. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Keevil,

You still have to watch out for the law of unfair competition.
