Waitaminute: seriously? I mean, they didn't want you to use the words "phaser" 
or "Spock"? I 
didn't know you could copyright a sound. Just a sound by itself? Just because 
it's 
recognizable? They didn't want you to use "Phaser" or "Spock"  in conjunction 
with the 
sounds, or they didn't want you to use them at all?  Because I'll hop on my 
miniDV right now 
and film a short video called 
"Phaser-Spock-Phaser-Spock-Phaser-Phaser-Spock-Spock".  

See, that's got NOTHING to do with protecting artist's property. That's just 
asinine. 

Or perhaps I should run out and copyright the "bingbong" sound--you know the 
one that the  
F train makes when the doors close.
