That Rowling! What A Witch!
Most of the blogosphere has been all in a tizzy about Scholastic’s and Rowling’s lawsuit against Van Der Ark.
However, there are a few ppoints that seem to be overlooked by many of these critics:
- Rowling owns the characters. You Rent them. Fantasize about them all you want, but only she has the right to sell them.
- She is more than fair with fans. The fact that the Lexicon is still up now shows that.
- Van Der Ark is a plagiarist. Rowling entered testimony today from other fan based critical works based on her books that showed how to, um, actually provide something. It appears that Ark was just regurgitating descriptions from the books in alphabetical order. And A quick read of the RDR catalog shows they’re interesting. Even though the cover art looks like a print-on-demand vanity press.
