I'm obviously not suggesting ignoring copyright or not crediting writers (writers have to make a living ^^" And deserve to have their work appreciated) but I do believe stories only truly come to life when they have readers. A good story leaves its author and belongs to everyone. And an author can never control how a reader interprets their work.
There is something magical about the way Sherlock Holmes has stayed with us all the time. It makes me smile sometimes, how annoyed people get with ACD on Holmes' behalf. But I understand too - Holmes has taken on his own life, away from his creator.
