== Facts & names ==
You seem to have neglected one key piece of information in this article: namely, you '''cannot copyright facts or names'''. The word "Thundershock" for example is not copyrighted and therefore nothing stops you using it in an app or website. If it were illegal to use names like this then ''billions'' of web pages would need to be taken offline right now! [[User:DisgruntledGoat|DisgruntledGoat]] 15:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
