In such a case, whether or not one appreciates the work of the initial author should be irrelevant, the same way whether said author has become a millionaire because of her work or is penniless. That's not what this is about. What it's about is the extent of control that current laws give to copyrights' owners.

I would support Mr. Card. My opinion has nothing to with my view of the author. I think he's suffering from a bit of jealousy, that's all. He shouldn't, though. It's not like he's unsuccessful.
I think Rowling or Card should be in control of any work that is derived in such as direct fashion from their own.
