I'm hoping to use a sampled narrator repeating this phrase in a section of the documentary on social change that I'm cutting together. It's improved drastically from the piece of **** I posted in the screening room a month ago.
Anyway... I want to use the phrase a few times. It's a 'popular culture' phrase, but it originated in Star Trek.
I didn't know that 'til I googled it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_is_futile
I won't be using any audio, samples or visuals from Star Trek, and won't be referencing them in any other way.
So... do the creators of Star Trek hold the copyright to that phrase, or is it an idea and thus 'public domain'
Any ideas?
