Well, there aren't hundreds or thousands of authors writing autogenerated stories with as many names and plot elements as possible, then using anyone who uses the name "john" or a plot twist in their own creations.

Oh, and you do see people here criticizing the length of copyright protection in the US.
- lupire 3y agoCopyright applies to the subjective holistic work as a whole, whereas patents are written for explicitly described elements. You don't copyright "John". Also, most generic aspects of art have prior as art from long before the USA was invented and any copyrights were granted. Technology changes far more quickly than art. And when art is valuable, it does get copyright suits. And copyright term is 10x as long as parent term.
