An interesting and fun read, Simon, thanks for finding this.I did some sleuthing online and found a case that discussed copyright infringement of plot ideas, and the court said there was no infringement. But it also made clear that if there's enough plot similarity there could, possibly, be infringement. It's a helpful read for the basic concepts of this issue. https://www.scribd.com/doc/20700124/Court-decision-re-copyright-infringement-analysis
I loved the discussion about Satan in a suit - reminded me of Leonard Cohen's description of himself as "an old bastard in a suit," and of course Nick Cave in his black suit crawling over an audience.
