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!
