Okay in this news report we got Rowling several times to say something, I'd like to hear the other side as well. Or does the loser have no voice in our society?

Also note the judge:
Quote:
He said: "While the Lexicon, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, reference works that share the Lexicon's purpose of aiding readers of literature generally should be encouraged rather than stifled."
Unfair omission in this news report IMHO. The judge explicitly stated despite this ruling, he generally doesn't want to stifle books discussing/handling other books..
