And poorly understood! George Martin of Game of Thrones writes that he&#x27;s against fanfic. Because if he allows it, he can lose his copyright. Then he goes on about Tarzan, and how since people made unauthorized movies on the theme, the author of Tarzan dies poor.<p>Plus the standard &quot;I made them no one else can touch&quot;, which is a valid personal feeling, but little basis for law.
