With the attempts by Warner Bros. to copyright everything connected 
with Harry Potter, one wonders whether the WB-lawyers might target HP-
fanfic at some point. Probably not, since nothing is actually being 
published. But in the near-future, I suspect we will not have as 
sharp a distinction between hard/soft cover publishing and web 
publishing. Then, things could get interesting...

A possible glimpse in this potential imbroglio:
