Hey,
I guess its really a matter of copy right, and how much a work has to be changed to be original. And which story was actually the first.
Copyright is a breach of the law, and it is made more complex, by the fact that Electronic copyright is different to paper based copyright. Another question is what is best determined by the term Public Domain, etc.
I believe that some thing should be done about it, however, not to automaticly assume that the worst, raher that both may be original works, and just inform both parties first. See if you get any response ?
Regards Tony Nolan

Hi,
*delurks*
I have a B7 fanfic question. I've been browsing about a bit reading fics here and there, and I was wondering. If you were to read a fic on a site, then find another fic on another site that was *extremely* similar to the first one you read, just with tiny changes, posted by a different author, would you do anything about it? And if you did what would you do?
(I know if it were me I wouldn't want someone copying my work and passing it off as theirs..)
