I am absolutely behind her in principle, and the fact that she is richer than many small countries really has nothing to do with defending her rights.
And I have to say, if she did win this one, it could benefit many authors who don't have such deep pockets. Not that I think that she cares about benefits to other authors. That doesn't seem to be her style. But I don't think she will win.

Because I, too, find her writing very derivative, and I don't know if I believe that there 2,034 original ideas in her books.
I do think that she believes it, though.
