Stephanie Meyer accused of ripping off....
Have you seen this story?
A woman named Jordan Scott fired off a cease and desist letter to the publisher of "Breaking Dawn" -- the fourth book in the series -- claiming the Twilight tale contains a "striking and substantial similarity" to Scott's book, "The Nocturne."

If you go to the site, you see the actual letter that was mailed, containing the details of the copyright infringement. It provides side by side comparison of the paragraphs from both books. I read this and didn't see how they can even compare the two. Stephanie Meyer's paragraphs are NOTHING like the ones they are being compared to "ripping off." I can't believe such an accusation was made. This other author, Jordan Scott, wants to be compensated for this. What do you think?
