Nate's Hypothetical Situation #2

You have a great idea for a novel; an idea so wonderful, so magnificent, so exquisite that it will surely win you a pulitzer prize! Only problem is, the idea is not yours. You see, you got the idea from a fellow YWS friend, but she merely mentioned it in passing. However, you're a good person so you ask her if you can use the idea. She answers "No! It's my idea and you can't use it!" So you begin to think that ideas aren't copyrighted, and that the words used in the novel would still be completely yours, even if the idea is not. Besides, it may win you a pulitzer prize... Would you use the idea and ignore your friend's statement?

A lot of my ideas aren't truly original...they are a bunch of different elements from different sources mashed together. So, take a wild guess as to what I'd do..

Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.
