It did? As far as I know, nothing in the recent case said anything about the website. The ruling was just about the book. The content on the website is not the same as the content in the book.

Thing is, JKR doesn't want e-books of her novels, but they're out there anyway. At least if she allowed legal versions, she'd have some control over the product. The illegal products, quite frankly, stink. I'd love to have really well-designed e-books of the Potter books, and would happily pay for them, though I've paid for all of the books in hardback already. Her viewpoint about e-books is, in my opinion, short-sighted and a bit Luddite-ish and makes me extremely impatient, but she's within her rights to hold it.

I'm with you there. Although, legal ebook doesn't necessarily mean high quality. Some of the worst ebooks I've seen with regards to scanning errors have been legally purchased ones.
