Well, I care more that the judge doesn't want to do his job and he wants a reference guide, so he can figure out a *****'s book.
This is clearly a copyright infringement. The judge needs to do his job and find for Rowling.
Gibberish or not, it's her idea. She's the one who thought of the concept of a secret magic world parallel to our own. I think this asshole's just jealous that she went from rags to riches with such a simple idea.

The time writers put into their books they do become like ********.
Eh. Whatever. It's not right that the guy is trying to publish a reference book w/o copyright agreement, but at the same time the have A-Z references out the ass online. It is funny how it goes from gibberish to complex.
Thanks for posting this, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

How is writing a reference guide copyright infringement?
they made like five movies based off of it, and rowling didn't write the script. that was even more of a "rip-off" if she considers someone else using her writing to be ripping it off.
she says that she supports other authors making use of her work, and claims to care about her characters, but she obviously doesn't mind shilling out her stuff for all sorts of ridiculous ideas, as long as she's the only one profiting from it. It's not like she wouldn't be getting royalties from this book. I think she's just a tramp that just wants to make money.
also the judges comments make perfect sense. he said that it was gibberish meaning nonsense. he then said it was "complex and confusing" meaning a whole bunch of ideas that don't go anywhere or make sense together. complex as in "too complicated", not as in "deep and meaningful." simple doesn't always mean stupid, and complicated doesn't always mean masterpiece either.

The studios gave her money that's why. This is clear and blatant copyright infringement. The author of the reference guide doesn't own Harry Potter or anything he wrote about. He's a thief plain and simple.
The judge is inept and should be fired.
didn't I just see you arguing for free speech will E? don't you think that's a contradiction? like I said the author would have to pay her royalties no matter what. that's an absurd argument. that's like saying that every star wars book is a rip off because it's not written by george lucas. there are tons and tons of books that are written about things that someone else has wrote about. the only way that it's a rip off is if he was trying to claim that the ideas were his and not Rowlings, and I don't see that as being the case anywhere.
IMO, lord of the rings is one of the greatest books ever, and harry potter is a rip off of that. There are also tons of books put out about LOTR that aren't written by tolkien, and no one is pissed off about it. rowling is just being a pouty whiner.

The people who write the Star Wars books either pay money to write about the trademarked characters, or they could be comissioned by Lucas to write the books using certian themes. Either way, they have permission to write about it.
And Tolkien is dead, and I'm not sure who owns the rights to his stuff, but they have to approve other people using his characters. If Rowling used Hobbits in the Harry Potter books, she would have to pay the person who owns the rights to Tolkien's stuff.
Copyright laws are very strict, and I agree w/ you that sometimes they can be really stupid. DC and Marvel are trying to sue a smaller comic company for using the term "superhero" in their books. Completely bogus. But I think in this case Rowling has the rights to protect her work.

No. :crash:
She created Potter, she has the copyright. He is stealing from her to cash in on her success. End of story.
Again? Marvel tried to copyright the letter X before too.
Marvel also sued because Liefeld wanted his character to throw his shield like Captain America does.
I'm tired of their garbage.
The Teletubbies had a simlar problem in the 90's
Never really cared for the little Bastard:thefinger, always thought his stories were crap, however it get's our **** reading and that's the important thing
**** should read more than play video games, Harry potter though - what a cunt
again and again, is he refusing to pay Rowlings her share? is he claiming her ideas to be his own?
Of course she has the right to never allow anyone else to ever write or publish anything that involves her work, but she'd be a lame asshole to do so, in my opinion. and I have pointed out that many a greater author than her has done so, and it hasn't hurt them at all. So why be so greedy? Let people run with it, and it's only gonna make more book sales for her anyway.

The copyright to the letter X is crazy. But as far as Liefeld goes. Agent America was rip off of Cap. He made that character right after Marvel fired him for his work on the Captain America reborn series. I'm not gonna **** on the guy, but just look at Agent America.
Otherwise I agree with you that Marvel is ridiculous about their lawsuites.

what's wrong with video games?
I nearly pissed myself when I read that. Just seems strange to come out with such a statement, still funny though. :hatsoff:
