I don't particularly like either of them. Rowling is just greedy, and I don't buy the "has to protect her IP argument." There are a hundred unofficial Star Wars and Star Trek things out there, and nobody has lost their IP rights in those cases.
Card is worse, a traitor. He advocates violent revolution if he doesn't get his way on gay marriage:
"How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn." (Mormon Times, Thursday, Jul. 24, 2008)
Bigots are bad enough, but one who tell us that if their bigotry isn't consistently enacted into law he'll try to tear down the American government? It wouldn't be American to censor him, but I certainly am not going to buy his books and I'll put him in the same moral camp as Bin Laden.
