Tagline Bold, Brilliant and Brutal Stolen

Looks like a good movie, but the creator and his PR firm stole the idea for their tag line from me. I’ve had a site Bold, Brash and Brilliant and am writing a book, partially about Steve Jobs, with the BBB alliteration for over two years and it’s copyrighted. http://www.boldbrashandbrilliant.com Now they use Bold, Brilliant and Brutal for their movie. What are the chances of this? I wrote Mr Gibney and he blamed it on the PR firm.

LISTEN UP EVERYONE!

If you're a writer, stop what you're doing right now and search all your unpublished works for any instances of alliteration using three B words. Apparently all of these belong to SJHeise. You have been warned!

Typical Apple...steal something that you didn't think off...and pass it as your own LOL...

I'm sorry they seem to have stolen your thunder, but unless you copyrighted every combination of triple B alliterative taglines, you'd be better off putting the money you'd waste fighting it into a website that doesn't look 15 years old?

Or maybe a rename?

Too long? Maybe could some polish...

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like, eh, your opinion, man. -Jeff Lebowski

Stole it from you or came up with the same tag line?
