No, not told over again. They'd all be different, obviously. The only thing that resembles old stories would be the origin.

Writer A tells story 1, then 6 years later Writer D wants to retell story 1 HIS way. Should he be allowed to do that or be told 'you can't do it, someone else already did it before you came along, think of something original instead of repeating what someone else did before'.
If he wants to retell it it's obviously because there's subtantial changes. It'd be a completely different story.
