Some form of this disclaimer can be found at the front of nearly every novel out there as well as in the credits of most films and TV episodes. It's an attempt to stave off libel suits; it seems to have originated as a response to a suit against the makers of the 1932 film ''Rasputin and the Empress'' by a Russian princess who believed one of the characters to have been modeled on her.[[note]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Yusupov More precisely Princess Irina of Russia, the only biological niece of the last tsar, who was married to Rasputin's murderer, Prince Felix Yusupov]] [[/note]] Think of it as the more professional equivalent of IDoNotOwn, though with more legal force.[[note]]IDoNotOwn admits that the characters, etc. portrayed are someone else's intellectual property and used without permission: it's basically saying "It's UsefulNotes/FairUse because I don't pretend it's mine" and it doesn't do much legally. This trope has nothing to do with intellectual property, and it's basically saying "if some of this seems RippedFromTheHeadlines, it wasn't intentional", so it has more legal significance.[[/note]]

* Somehow inverted with Disney, in which this trope is seldomly seen in recent years, outside of one ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' parody regarding what Kristoff said earlier in the end credits. Most of the time instead of the said disclaimer after the copyright notice, for some reason, it has, along the lines of "For the sake of copyright protection in the United Kingdom, The Walt Disney Company (Or its affiliate studios/production companies depending on the movie) is the copyright owner after the movie was made."
