Can You Suggest A Book That Is Similar To…?
Is there any books that is similar to Harry Potter or anything to do with a student at a boarding school it doesn’t have to be about magic though it would be better if it did. Or anything to do with supernatural stuff. ANY books will do!
Is There A Fine Line Between Similar Ideas And Downright Copying?
After reading a few cases where an author has sued a much more popular author, claiming they copied their story, citing similar ideas in both stories, I was wondering what is copying, and what is just similar ideas?
For example, if I were to write a story which has absolutely no similarity to Harry Potter, except a magic school and two best friends I would expect to be hit by a lawsuit.
But that wouldn’t be copying, for a magic school is not an entirely unique idea, but it was merely made famous by Harry Potter.
However, if I was living in a rain forest, and wrote a book with the exact same plot line as Harry Potter, but I had never read/heard it before, would it still be copying?
So, is there a line between having a similar idea/plot line to another author and ‘copying’ the story?

I Desperatly Want To Write A Fantasy/adventure Similar To Harry Potter, But I Can’t Help Copying The Book?
I am such a big Harry Potter fan and an even bigger fan of writing. I desperately want to write and finish a book that includes magic… I want to have it about a magical society similar to those in Harry Potter, but I keep copying the whole ‘magical young wizard goes to a school on wizardry’ idea. Any ideas on how to get out of this and how to think up something just as amazing and complex as Rowling’s books?
Can Someone Tell Me A Similar Jacket To The One This Guy In The Video Is Wearing?
http://www.thisjustin.com/2007/04/11/dav…
Watch David Blaine’s Street Magic Spoof Part 2… the guy in the beginning holding the orange soda. Does anyone know a jacket similar to that and wear i can buy it? I’ve looked at Gap, old navy, they don’t have anything that is similary enough.
What kinda jacket is that specifically called BTW?
Does Anyone Know Where I Can Find Similar Music To Michael Jackson’s “thriller”?
I wanted to use his song in a video of my school’s chemistry magic show, but of course because of copyright and licensing issues this wasn’t possible. I’ve been advised to try and find similar music on sites that offer copyright free music so if anyone knows of any sites or of any specific songs please let me know.
