Here's a better way...
Go read the news article about the Stouffer case.
As I just posted to The Leaky Cauldron:
Thanks to Chimene, we've learned that Yahoo posted an article about the
resolution of the Nancy Stouffer vs JK Rowling (and Scholastic, and WB)
case <a
href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=579&e=2&cid=638&u
=/nm/20020918/en_nm/media_scholastic_harrypotter_dc">here</a>. <br><br>
We're going to try and hunt down the court's ruling so I can see exactly
what trademark and copyright cases the court cited (if anyone has it,
please send it to staff at the-leaky-cauldron.org), but for now, we can
report that the court said that "Stouffer had lied to the court and
doctored evidence to support her claims." Stouffer was fined $50,000 for
this "pattern of intentional bad faith conduct."
Doctored evidence? WHAT A SURPRISE! She's also responsible for some of
their attorney's fees!
I think I speak for many of us when I say...
Hahahhahahahahahaha!
And if anyone can get their hands on the court's ruling, I *really* want
to read it!
