I think "originality" is something of a red herring here. There are precious few books (or movies), I think, that can claim to be truly "original." (Depending on whom you read, there are only between 7 and 20 basic plots out there.)

Exactly.
If this case wins though - I would encourage the heirs of the writers of "Dark Shadows" (anybody remember that? Barnabas Collins and crew

) to sue the Twilight writer Stephanie Meyer. And while they're at it - Charlene Harris, the writer of the "True Blood" books (and HBO). Because, clearly they came up with the Vampires living among us concept first

(oh wait, Bram Stoker's heirs might have first dibs).
