Da Vinci Code Author Sued

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the prior-art-in-my-head dept.

riptalon writes "Dan Brown, the author of The Da Vinci Code, is being sued in the UK for using ideas from a previous non fiction book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail in his novel. The Bangkok Post states that 'The question the court is facing is whether you can copyright an idea, a conjecture.'"

    I think the real irony is that the book is terrible (yes I have read it).
