Sure, like no author owns a story line. Even persons names. You could always 
write the same book over again by using (slightly) different words. The 
permutation must be endless. Still, the first book reviewer (if you get it 
published at all) will probably call it worthless and name the author a sad, 
pathetic bastard.

I don't see it as the same thing at all -- tripod spot and story line. 
Although boy gets girl boy loses girl boy gets girl -- if you are broad and 
inclusive enough when talking about a story line --- sure. I think someone said 
once 
there are only seven different stories anyway.

It's what you do with it.
