In what way do Ms. Rowling's books "deprive anyone of their income"? Your logic escapes me there, I'm afraid.

I am sorry but nobody has to do anything and she has already made enough money on this series than most people could ever even dream of making in a lifetime. This lawsuit is frivolous and nothing short of ridiculous given the fact surrounding the case. The fact that she didn't claim such ridiculous copyright violations back when she herself was using the website makes this case an absolute joke and a waste of everyone's time.
She doesn't have a chance in hell at winning this and I only wish that people could bet on the outcome of trials as I would sink my entire retirement fund on this one. Copyright infringements, LOL. Next she is going to try and sue the reviewers of the books for using words like Hogwarts in the review.
Mr. Card has nailed this one perfectly and the hypocrisy surrounding this entire case given the massive amount of claims laid against Rowling and her work is astonishing. My only regret is that I actually purchased two of her books as gifts.
Well the good news is that this case will have nothing but a positive outcome. She will lose this case, end up having to pay money to the author and on top of that this whole thing just exposes what a b*tch this woman has become. Again Mr. Card has nailed this perfectly and she has just become a bitter person due to the massive lack of respect her series has received in literary circles.
Cant wait to see what her comments are when she loses.
