	As another example of plot copying,what about those Terry Brooks
"Lord of the Rings" copies. Can't remember the series but the plot was virtually
identical. Again no suits. The copying of plots is so common in fiction as to
be rediculous. It's too bad however that Bo Diddley couldn't afford to sue
the various rip offs of his basic riff though,as he sure made a lot less $
on it than for example,Malcolm McLaren for "I Like Candy".
