| Re: dear JK...
The case in question did seem to refer to the author having copied her work for use in his manuscript. I'm neither an author nor a reader of his original site, on which the book is based, but if the encyclopaedia is verbatim chunks of the book, with no re-writing or paraphrasing then it does seem to be a valid challenge.
On the other hand, as you say, if he's worded everything himself, simply being based on her canon material, then it's a different kettle of fish. |
