      This is really a better critique to launch at ridiculous patent trolls than copyright trolls, but sure

      It's really the law around derivative works and fair use in general where you can most clearly call copyright "idea landlording" (as opposed to the rights to the actual specific book someone wrote) It is unfortunately an unavoidably fuzzy and subjective field

      I want anyone to write any story with any characters as long as they're not claiming to be official or canon. I don't get why that's tied into copyright, it should be trademark.

      Sometimes it is trademark but only if those characters actually are used as a trademark -- i.e. you bought a Harry Potter book specifically because Harry Potter was on the cover and you assume all Harry Potter books are written by the original creator of Harry Potter

          Right. But I think anyone should be able to tell a story, for example, about the bit between the end of the main story of Harry Potter and the epilogue. Using that character names and everything. And sell it for money, even. Just as long as you're not claiming it's official.

          Right and the thing is as long as you still have a concept of copyright at all this border is going to be fuzzy and cause problems There's no clear sharp line between "fanfic using the same character names" on one side and "the original book with a search/replace" on the other
