> However, I did find his [Orson Scott Card's] point that JKR
encouraged books (such as "The Great Snape Debate" by Card and a
co-author) that came out before DH and served as part of the publicity
campaign but seems to have changed tactics now that DH has been
published and is calling books that quote or paraphrase her works
copyright infringement to be valid.

points without resorting to namecalling or incivility, was balanced
and fair.

Carol responds:
Leaky can be hard to navigate; I find its search engine to be less
than helpful. I did find the article again by clicking on the
"companion books" link at the top of the latest RDR vs. JKR article.
It's about the third or fourth article on that page.
However, it's probably easier just to go directly to the articles.
Orson Scott Card's can be found here

and Ken Jennings's {I want to type "Peter Jennings's"!) here:

The Leaky article with the links is here:

Carol, who read RDR's lawyers' arguments (most but not all of which I
agree with) and will read JKR's lawyers' side's testimony but intends
to stay out of any further discussion of the case
