Re: Fan fiction in general was: MOVED from MAIN - "sequels" to the classics

[doddiemoemoe]

well, massive snip because it doesn't matter...

The most printed non-authorized HP sequel will be written and 
published wwwaaayyyy after any of us are still living..JKR's leagal 
team will prevent anyone from doing otherwise...

Hence the Lexicon battle....it's not about JKR...it's about JKR's 
attorneys...


Years from now...someone could try to publish a fan fic based on the 
lexicon rather than JK works...this is what the court battle will be 
about...WB in the end..prob. simply wants Lexi steve to admonish 
said readers...which in my opinion..is wrong...

Sorry....JKR and WB should have complained from the beginning(can 
you imagine how different, if not difficult JKR's life would have 
been w/o the lexicon...not to mention the publisher's sites etc...

However neither did not...and for one reason probably....that 
certain websites kept up increased their profits..

I dunno it's stinky to me...

Because if we believe the media....then steve cannot publish his 
book before JKR's(what JK legal camp says)....and all Steve was 
publishing was that big ol' web site that all public has had access 
to for all these years...I'm sorry but I don't get it...say what you 
want but don't put it on the web...and if you do, that's okay...but 
be prepared for most u.s. courts to declare it public domain...at 
least for most of the books..which no one ever sued steve for..

However, given how so many fans hated JKR's epilogue, and what JKR 
gave us and how much more she has to tell...well, sheesh... she 
should keep it to herself...as did steve for all these years... 
*yawn*..
