Read about it:  HERE.
Thanks to the Smart Bitches for the linkage.  I admit this case caused a lot of hooplah on the writer's forum I belong to.  I always came down on Rowling's side...while others were pretty adamant that this whole lawsuit was a sign of Rowling's "paranoia" and "self-aggrandizing ego."  Shrug.  I predicted this outcome from the beginning, as did a couple of fellow law students.  Hey, I actually took a copyright class during those three years of hell. (g)
Anyway, any thoughts on this?  Do you agree with the decision?  
As a writer -- and as a former law student -- I agree.  Good on you, Rowlings.

Good for her.
While I'll admit that locking Alan Rickman in the basement takes someone on the edge of crazy, I was on her side about this. (g)
Tara,
I still don't know where the origin of that story is. LOL. That Maureen cracks me up. (g)
Jen
I'm on her side.
As far as I know she has always supported the site as long as it was not for profit. But publishing a book, containing almost only her material is taking it a bit too far.
Why had no one asked her beforehand? I'm sure they could have come to an agreement
