I wrote And when was I pursued? Not me, but the magazine I worked for. Our
designer created a cover design that used a Superman type treatment about
super fund raisers and a visual image of an office worker opening his shirt
to reveal a dollar sign treated like Superman's S. DC Comics saw one and made
us destroy every remaining copy. I don't remember if we had to pay money too.
That's trademark, an entirely different and much stranger subject.
Oops, yes, you're right. I was mentally meandering around examples of rights,
and remembered the one time I worked at a publication that was hit for a
violation. Trademark, in this case, though I suppose if our designer had
actually taken the art off a comic book cover and used it in his design,
copyright would have come into play too!
