Sorry; but this battle is fought here on U.S. territory...this one 
said court battle falls w/in U.S. law..I think JKR's fate may well 
have been sealed after she awarded said site...I think she passed 
her nominations of site awards past her legal advice before 
awarding...and one of the reasons why the lexi probably won awards 
was due to their no cut and paste/link/open in new window policy...I 
got it..if no one else did..no one could ever site them w/o 
permission...the Lexi is more protected than JKR's works...(I got 
why they did what they did..they wanted to print their work in the 
end...and why shouldn't they? What makes their actions different 
from so many others---they waited until ALL JKR's works were 
published..

I think JKR is angry that the Lexicon's no 
cut/paste/link/openinnewwindow policy wasn't to protect her....but 
to protect the site..and SVA' publishing intentions..

Given the other books published over the years...I do not think 
JKR's case will prevail..I think most of us would purchase JKR above 
SVA...and after said case...would purchase both...for simple 
posterity at this point...

I wonder if WB doesn't have a bigger role in this..I do think 
WB "stole/borrowed" SVA's timeline...we also know an amusement park 
is being built under wb guise...

I like to think that JKR decided to fight/particiapate in this court 
battle to ensure DH was a two movie deal vs. one movie...

Alas...if this is true...we may have had the GOF movie most fans 
wanted...(see!?!?! if only she had fought all the other books from 
the beginning?!?!?! *heavy sigh*
