[QUOTE="RavenKatiasaBliss, post: 2567318, member: 872165"] Similarities To A Book Series? Actually, I asked this question before, but (my fault) I didn't make it clear enough. So, try number two! Someone on a book series fanpage posted something about NBC making a TV show called Grimm. The fanpage is in fact, a fanpage for a book series called the Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley. I didn't find THAT many similarities between the two, but many of the other fans did. I mean, yeah, sure, the main character in the TV show happens to be a descendent of the Brothers Grimm and in the book series the two sisters are, too. But other than a little bit of tiny stuff (like a phrase they used for the TV show, "Once Upon a Crime" is the title of the fourth book of the Sisters Grimm, but that doesn't really matter.) The last time I answered this (I deleted it, by the way), got some pretty good answers, but personally, I found they weren't EXACTLY answering what I was asking, but I kind of have an idea of what they meant. Long story short. Is it possible that if there are enough little details that are pretty close to one another, could you sue? @cathrl69 No, no, no! I deleted it because I wasn't clear enough and got the vibe that the question was kind of confusing. And since you can't edit answers (which is kind of a dumb idea... you should be able to!), I had to delete it and do it again. This time I *hope* it was more clear. [/QUOTE]
