You cannot copyright a Title, or so I've heard..

Correct. In fact, that was hassled out years ago in Hollywood in regard to
movie titles, and it applies to those of books and other things, too.

Yes. Think about it. All you'd have to do is be the first person to
write a book called "Dictionary," or "Encyclopedia." From that point
on, you could sue anyone else who tried to put together a dictionary
or encyclopedia.

Google for "wind done gone".

"The Wind Done Gone" is a book giving an alternate view of the events
in "Gone With the Wind." Margaret Mitchell's estate fumed - and sued -
but "The Wind Done Gone" was published nonetheless.

Plot Summary

The plot of Gone With the Wind revolves around a rich Southern woman
named Scarlett O'Hara, who lives through the American Civil War and
Reconstruction. The Wind Done Gone is the same story, but told from
the viewpoint of a mulatto slave on Scarlett's plantation (see History
of slavery in the United States); the title is simply "Gone With the
Wind" rendered into a slave's vernacular dialect.

Besides, it _is_ legal to make a parody (to a certain extent). Moore
could just say he was parodying Bradbury's title with his, if this
ever would go to court, which it won't.

Never say never... Wasn't it Verizon that went to court to protect their
'copyright' on the phrase "Push to Talk", which has been used on two way
radios for decades before Verizon ever existed?

Something like that. It was a trademark for the use of "Push to Talk" just
for use on cellphones, however.

Nextel.

I didn't know something that was copyright or in public domain could be
registered.

And the first one to use :-( publically automatically had it copyrighted.

Oh, what about
