It's hilarious to see some shitty unsuccessful writers trying to cash out on even shittier successful authors.

>Sherrilyn Kenyon filed a complaint on Feb. 5 against Cassandra Clare "for trademark infringement, copyright infringement, unfair competition, false advertising, and trade dress infringement." The Guardian reported Kenyon alleges that Clare "knowingly and willfully copied" some portion of Kenyon's "Dark Hunter" series to create her popular YA tomes "The Mortal Instruments."
>Kenyon's "Dark Hunter" series was first published in 1998, while Clare's "The Mortal Instruments" first came out in print in 2007.
>The complaint cites that both book franchises tell the story of an "elite band of warriors" that save humans from paranormal forces. These warriors, referred to in the books as hunters, maintain the balance between good and evil to protect humans from succumbing to maleficent powers.

literature is not art for these people, it's a business.

Isn't Clare infamous for her plagiarism, though? She lifted most of her novel from her own shitty Harry Potter fanfic, and apparently that plagiarized everything from bits of dialogue to entire passages from multiple forms of media.

Isn't that all YA? By the standards in that paragraph, you could sue half of YA authors.
