Someone else already pointed out that Shakespeare is publie domain, and Bradbury is certainly not. I'd be willing to bet that Bradbury, if he wanted, could STOMP Moore in court. Our Napster culture notwithstanding, courts have been very supportive of artists intellectual property, and there is no doubt that the only way that Moore's title even COULD make sense is by standing on Bradbury's shoulders. That calls for recognition, permission, and if asked, royalties.
By the way, John Williams (the film composer) lost almost 25 MILLION dollars to the Richard Strauss estate for a musical phrase from Superman, so this stuff is taken seriously.
