Comments

[sparklywalls.livejournal.com]

Come to think of it, your comment reminds me I did kind of question what counts as copying/plagiarism when that interview was out because (for example) surely if you have a confrontation between a Sherlock and a Moriarty that involves falling off something, that idea has been done several times since the original. I guess the problem might arise if you have that Moriarty telling the Sherlock he has to kill himself or his friends will die and Moriarty has convinced everyone Sherlock is a fake. That could be classed as definitely too similar. Maybe it's not the greatest example but what I'm trying to say is, I know what you mean - I'm just curious how they'd gauge where the line is if it's something obviously inspired by original canon.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly. When two or more things are based of the same source or historical event, there are going to be similarities. So when does, "it's the same because of canon" cross over into "you're copying us!"? And heck, what about just independently coming up with the same idea? Irene being attracted to Sherlock is a good example: That's NOT how it happened in canon, yet at least a few modern versions have had that happen. Are they copying each other (I think the RDJ version did it before BBC Sherlock, for example), or did the writers just happen to think it was a good idea?

Speaking from a legal perspective, the only stuff BBC could sue over would be the entirely original content, which isn't much. Stuff like using texting and or putting Reichenbach fall on a building is not protectable. When the source material is public domain, it's very difficult to prevail in a plagiarism claim unless there's real, word-for-word plagiarism.
