It's hilarious to see some shitty unsuccessful writers trying to cash out on even shittier successful authors.

http://www.lawyerherald.com/articles/33670/20160214/mortal-instruments-author-cassandra-clare-calls-sherrilyn-kenyons-plagiarism-accusations.htm

>Sherrilyn Kenyon filed a complaint on Feb. 5 against Cassandra Clare "for trademark infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, false advertising, and trade dress infringement." The Guardian reported Kenyon alleges that Clare "knowingly and willfully copied" some portion of Kenyon's "Dark Hunter" series to create her popular YA tomes "The Mortal Instruments."


>Kenyon's "Dark Hunter" series was first published in 1998, while Clare's "The Mortal Instruments" first came out in print in 2007.

>The complaint cites that both book franchises tell the story of an "elite band of warriors" that save humans from paranormal forces. These warriors, referred to in the books as hunters, maintain the balance between good and evil to protect humans from succumbing to maleficent powers.
>>
literature is not art for these people, it's a business.

people have different interests and what is a boring story to you is a world of meaning to someone else.

what is polandbanana's take on this?

i'll side with whoever she backs

Isn't Clare infamous for her plagiarism, though? She lifted most of her novel from her own shitty Harry Potter fanfic, and apparently that plagiarized everything from bits of dialogue to entire passages from multiple forms of media.

I came up with the same plot in 9th grade in my friend's basement after two bong hits

Isn't that all YA? By the standards in that paragraph, you could sue half of YA authors.
