Most Potentially Self-Destructive Lawsuit



Today a trial opened in London. In a nutshell the authors of the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail are suing Dan Brown over his book The DaVinci Code. Details here. What I find interesting here is that Holy Blood, Holy Grail is supposed to be a book of history, and you can't copyright historical facts. Fringe historians like this want to have it both ways. They want to us to believe they're telling the truth, yet they want their "research" to be protected like fiction. I can't wait to see how this will shake out.
