More From The Lexicon Lawsuit: Quotations From Court
|
In court today, Rowling is quoted as saying, "he has simply taken it and copied it. It is sloppy, lazy and it takes my work wholesale."
"What particularly galls is the lack of quotation marks. If Mr. Vander Ark had put quotation marks around everything he lifted, most of the Lexicon would be in quotation marks," she said, speaking of the Lexicon.
"This is not a case about money." The Harry Potter Lexicon, by Steve Vander Ark, "does not reflect well on the Harry Potter series."

In an interview, RDR Books' lawyer Lizbeth Hasse said, "reference books and commentaries should be able to be done by others than the author. If a lexicon is not permitted for Harry Potter, it may not be permitted to other pieces of literature."
"If RDR's position is accepted, it will undoubtedly have a significant, negative impact on the freedoms enjoyed by genuine fans on the Internet," said J. K. Rowling, the series' author before today's proceedings. "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."
