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.
ReplyDeleteWhile 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,
ReplyDeleteI still don't know where the origin of that story is. LOL. That Maureen cracks me up. (g)
Jen
I'm on her side.
ReplyDeleteAs 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
