J.K. Rowling, and her legal team, are continuing their fight against the publishing of the Harry Potter Lexicon book that is to be published by RDR Books. In the past, Jo has stated that she feels it's wrong for the book to be published when the information can be found on the Harry Potter Lexicon author's website for free.
In the court papers filed, Jo stated, "I am deeply troubled by the portrayal of my efforts to protect and preserve the copyrights I have been granted in the Harry Potter books...If RDR's position is accepted, it will undoubtedly have a significant, negative impact on the freedoms enjoyed by genuine fans on the Internet...Authors everywhere will be forced to protect their creations much more rigorously, which could mean denying well-meaning fans permission to pursue legitimate creative activities...I find it devastating to contemplate the possibility of such a severe alteration of author-fan relations."
RDR Books' attorney stated that the book is like a reference book or a guide.
Jo is, of course, planning to write her own Harry Potter Encyclopedia, although she doesn't plan to start on it any time soon, as she is taking a (well deserved) break. |
