Not sure how I feel about it.

Yeah, I read about the lawsuit a couple days back and thought about posting something - in my lj or your comments. But I couldn't resolve what it is I really wanted to say about it, other than that it instantly made me think of your work and the differences/similarities.

Do they do 'royalties' from 'sampling' in literature like they do in music? I don't know that I've ever heard of such a thing and, frankly, I'm not so sure it's a good thing. I kind of like the little quotes that lead off chapters in some of my favorite authors' works. And it'd be a shame to see those quotes removed from future works in order to save a penny here or there.
