Alla:

Absolutely, he can write **different book**, I agree without going 
through courts, different book about HP.

But how different will be different, that is an interesting question.

I mean judge is not stupid and if plaintiffs come to court again and 
say that defendants are in violation of the injunction since this 
book is basically same stuff, I think it will all depend on the 
content.
