`The Da Vinci Code` Decision- an Outrage????

The case was decided and no plagiarism was involved. Your concerns are unfounded. Many stories resemble each other because there are only so many plot lines and they get rehashed numerous times. I read a bunch of romance novels one year and found that they all had the very same plot line. Change the names, the places and you have a new story. In order to prove plagiarism, the two stories need to be nearly verbatim.
