Does Sargent (1916, Ch. VII-VIII) warn about unconscious copying or set a line between legitimate suggestion and copying, and what does he say about idea reuse in these chapters?
1916 practice, bounded. In flat chars 56358-75899 Sargent has no passage on unconscious copying or on plagiarism; a scoped search of these chapters for 'unconscious', 'subconscious', 'unwittingly', 'plagiar', 'steal', 'copying', 'copied' found none. The nearest statements concern invention: unchanged reproduction is not authorship (Ch. VII), a writer should not rely on screen incident for his plot material (Ch. VIII para 2), and a used idea should be altered when filed (para 12). The line between suggestion and taking is drawn in Ch. XXIII (see C3-B298-S104-02) and the theft question in Ch. LXIX (C3-B317-S119). No legal conclusion is drawn.
