Yeah, I'm not expressing myself well. I love Nina's work but I'm confounded by her stance on copyright.
The concept of a young boy who finds he is part of the wizarding world is basic enough that I don't think you could copyright it. By concept I'm referring to all the stuff that goes beyond the one sentence description, all the underpinnings that make the world work. The stuff that would make up the bible of a TV series. That's work.
As much as I'd love to see a series of Cerebus stories postulated on the theory Sim didn't go nuts two thirds of the way through the series, It's up to Sim to decide if he wants to let someone else do that.
