This infringement was no childs' play. these people in India spent a
lot of money building a castle that they clearly labels as Hogwarts
and were making major use of Warner Brothers and Rowlings property.
Even so, they worked something out.


Her case was thrown out, there was no infringement. The Hogwarts replicas weren't made for profit, just a public celebration. That she would be so mean-spirited and as to sue and demand that the structures be torn down show how much of a nonsense it is about her protecting her copyright.




See how much she has lost her soul. That she lost the case showed
that she wasn't even in the right, but used her money and power to
intimidate other people.
When the infringer turns out to be a kid or a school, they usually
work something out. However, Steve is no kid, in fact he's a
librarian and should know where to draw the line between his rights
and Rowlings. So, it is possible that this is the ideal case for
working this out. I do hope that the arguments and the results are
made public.

To give it its full title, you are jealous.
Money doesn't mean much to me, but it sure means a lot to you and
Rowling, doesn't it?
Didn't Rowling say she was doing it for the principle? Or, is she
doing it for the principal(sic)?


Well, the Indian case show that it certainly wasn't for principle. She is just flexing her muscles and see how much she can get away with. The point about mentioning her wealth is that when you are wealthy, there are things that you can afford to be lenient with. That she chose not to be lenient, instead chose to be harsh, says everything that needs to be said. She has become a business, and lost her humanity on the way.


How would YOU know this?

Do you know her personally?
