ah, so it’s not true then

I thought this was an interesting story. The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (upon whose claims the DaVinci story was based) are suing the author and publisher of the Da Vinci Code for “theft of intellectual property”.

Since they claim that the idea of Jesus having had a child belongs to them, isn’t this an implicit admission that the story is fictional? If they believed it was true, surely anyone could write a fictional story based around it? If it’s true, surely no one can claim it as an ‘idea’?

Not sure, but this is how it looks to me…
