Fairuse obliteratus: Rowling to testify in Harry Potter case

[Demon_Skeith]

Rowling will testify today after winning an injunction last November against Steve Vander Ark and his publisher. Vander Ark is the main author of the online Harry Potter Lexicon (currently featuring Google ads for "Gay Dumbledore T-shirts," a product that I was not previously aware existed), a site that Vander Ark has turned into a book. When the news was announcement, Rowling sued, claiming that a fan web site was one thing, but a complete paperback lexicon was another. Not only did she not want Vander Ark to profit from her work in this way, but Rowling made it clear that she had plans of her own to publish a lexicon.
