I completely agree with that. The issue appears to be that he may have used Ms. Rowling's trademarks without permission in doing so, and you can't do that regardless of how useful the work might be!
Everyone's entitled to the protection of the law, regardless of how "rich and famous" they might be. The fact that a wealthy person is taking an "ordinary" person to court doesn't automatically mean that the wealthy person is in the wrong.
Let's wait and see what the court decides.
