 No. Just because you claim copyright on something doesn't mean that you
are responsible for it's content. The same way that warner bros. may own
an artists music, but if someone says "That's mine", they sue the artist
for selling it to warner bros.

to go where you will, even to Mordor, Saruman, if you desire. "
