Yeah, and think about how Disney came to be. They basically ripped off/adapted tons of old stories, but put their own creative twist and made tremendous films out of it. Copyright lawyer Lawrence Lessig calls this "Disney creativity" We'd be nowhere without it.

The way I look at it...Almost every idea has been done before. Everything is kind of adapted from something else at this point from some kind of influence, whether directly or not.
