Official statement from JK Rowling on the lawsuit
This was JUST released: an official statement from JK Rowling’s spokesperson on the lawsuit:
“A fan’s affectionate enthusiasm should not obscure acts of plagiarism. The publishers knew what they were doing. The problem remains that the Lexicon takes an enormous amount of Ms. Rowling’s work and adds virtually no original commentary of its own. As we’ve said in court, it takes too much and adds too little. Authors have a duty to prevent the exploitation of their works by people who contribute nothing original, creative or interpretive.”
What do you think? Who do you think will win this trial?
