J.K. Rowling sued a prominent Harry Potter fansite over a book collecting material from the site. “The Harry Potter Lexicon” is basically an encyclopedia of sorts, and Rowling argues that this falls under neither review nor criticism, and is essentially just a repurposing of her characters and stories to be sold commercially without any proceeds going to her. Any monetary award from the lawsuit will be given to charity.
I might actually have some original reporting on this topic… stay tuned?
