Via cleolinda:

Lexicon case decided; publication halted.

"The judge also said that RDR Books had 'failed to establish an affirmative defense of fair use.'"

I SO TOTALLY CALLED IT. HAHA!

I hate that woman sometimes. I don't think that's a fair decision- "irreparable harm?" That woman is the richest person in England, hardly.

Not that I support copyright infringement, but I was really hoping the justice system would pull through, at least a little, for Vander Ark.

:(

Stevie wasn't the defendant though. He conned his publisher into taking the fall. I have a feeling though he won't be able to that again.

I thought *she* sued him anyway? (But that doesn't mean he'd have to appear, right? He could make a deal where he withdrew his book or whatever?)

I *am* actually missing some facts, I think. I love Harry Potter, truly, but JKR seems like a jerk to me. :/

HO HO! Justice is sweet indeed..not surprising..but still sweet! I still can't believe how they thought they could get away with it!

[foresthouse]

Me neither, really!
