copyright doesn't mean what you think
a relative of mine bought one of these stars from the star registry people
basically they send you a cheesy certificate and a map to "your star" and some other documents about astronomy and stars
it makes an attempt to sound official by saying that the name of the star will be registered in a publication with the US copyright office.....well I can publish my own book full of 5000 pages of garbled text and get it registered with a copyright, too bad nobody would ever care about it and it's not an official reference by any stretch of the imagination
like other posters say, it's a nice thought but not even remotely what you might be suckered into thinking
