Good thing every single published book out there contains only 100% original ideas and that nobody writes sequels to Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, or books containing references to characters in classic literature.

I hope you're also writing stiffly worded reprimands to every director/writer/producer involved in any of the Sherlock Holmes adaptations, because I'm pretty sure they're getting paid for what they do.

Yes, because it's exactly the same. Of course it is.

Okay. Do an Amazon search on "Sherlock Holmes sequel" and see how many works pop up that aren't written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Those writers don't own the character of Sherlock Holmes, but they're not necessarily working for free. Now do the same for "Jane Austen sequel". Now fire up IMDB.com and look up all the Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen novel adaptations. How many of those were created by their respective authors? (Hint: none.) How many of the people involved in those productions are working for free? (Hint: probably none, unless there are unpaid interns who get coffee)

Now I'm not saying that wanting to get paid for writing, say, Homestuck fanfiction is the same thing. What I am saying is that the kneejerk reaction of "write your own stuff if you want to get paid" is too simplistic to be helpful in a discussion like this.
