[Fmpro] PRO's...... Retitling -- Fraud

[LesHurdle]

OK............ShkUrSxyBooTpourmoi

This is no longer the same title.

I am in agreement with you re the derivative situation,   you say    
I'd think that one would check on their titles to verify if/how their  
works have been translated.    presume for the moment one has a cue  
in a movie being shown i France.......... how would one check?
