Da Vinci (Legal) Code. David Pescovitz:
I randomly happened to read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code right when it came out. When I told my pal Vann Hall about the novel, he said the basis of the plot sounded like a non-fiction book from the early 1980s called Holy Blood, Holy Grail. A few months after Da Vinci Code hit it big, I noticed that Holy Blood, Holy Grail had also made it to the bestseller lists, more than twenty years after it was first published. Now it seems that the Holy Blood, Holy Grail authors are suing Dan Brown for ripping off their research.

This has to be nonsense... I've said it before, Da Vinci Code is fiction it can't "lift" from nonfiction work... It can be inspired by it, but if this suit stand literature will end. Any assassination plot of a president (that is a best-seller) will be claim to be based on a fiction work of Kennedy's dead.
