AYRT

That is vastly different. I have no issue if someone takes inspiration from another work and uses it to create their completely original story. I do have issue with people who barely describe the characters or the setting or anything in the world because it is the exact same as the canon they are borrowing from. If they write something that is enough of an AU that it is their own world and their own take on the characters, then I feel that isn't actually a fanfic but rather their own work. People are inspired by other stories and plots and characters all of the time. There aren't that many original ideas out there. However, playing in someone else's sandbox, using the same tools, the same characters, the same tone, etc. isn't theirs. Plus, that example is really not at all the same given the nature of the source material that Dante's Inferno plays with and the source material that most fanfic authors play with.

98% of the characters in Dante's Inferno are not original. Every named demon, sinner, saint, angel, creature, they are all copied by Greek mythology, Roman literature, dead real people like Caton, dead fictional people like Tristan&Isolde, and Christianity.

All the settings are not original. Hell, Purgatory and Heaven were all described in detail in many different ways for centuries, and Dante copied plenty from those interpretations and images.

All the story is, is Dante taking a stroll with his favorite poet at all the realms in Christian religion.

By your logic, if I draw a fantastic painting of Achilles slaying Hector for someone, I deserve no pay because I'm "using someone else's world and characters!"

Are you purposely being obtuse?

There is a massive difference between something that's copyright and something that isn't. When there's an author who OWNS work that they've CREATED, and they are making money off of it, then no, you don't get a free piece of the pie.

No one owns the Trojan War story. It's a legend. Who exactly would you be imposing on for painting a picture of a legend?
