The article states that point that Paramount is making is that the reason they want to keep the family from having any additional books written is to protect the franchise's reputation.
If that is the argument they are going with...I think Paramount should prove that THEY [Paramount] are not tarnishing the reputation themselves. Cause that's the only reason for the lawsuit, right?
And I think that a "gotcha" game on facebook (a company known for privacy violations) by Zynga (a company known for creating items that require the players to spend large amounts of money) is a tarnish to the reputation of the original books AND movies.
