The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
anything by Cassie Claire

plagiarism shouldn't be awarded or made into a profit

Not denying Dan Brown's general level of suck, but what did he plagiarize? Is this about Umberto Eco?

Re: Banned Books

[(Anonymous)]

I vaguely remember that a couple of nonfiction writers tried to sue him for using their whackadoo theories as the basis for his potboilers, but I don't think it went anywhere, since you can't copyright ideas (otherwise the whole Urban Fantasy section of the bookstore would be involved in a lawsuit, on one side or another.)

Re: Banned Books

there have been several plagiarism allegations (some of which Dan Brown has even admitted to)

basically his shtick is to take other people's stuff and modify the text a bit... he's not even a talented writer, so you can immediately spot the "this isn't his" bits
it's just so prevalent that I'm wondering if he's done it with his other books, too
