| Subject: Rowling sues over Potter lexicon Fri Nov 02 2007, 14:50 | |
| From http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow - Quote :
- AUTHOR J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. are suing a small publisher over plans to release a book version of a popular web site dedicated to the boy wizard.
The suit, filed Wednesday by the author and Warner Bros. in federal court in Manhattan, claims that Michigan-based RDR Books will infringe on Rowling's intellectual property rights if it goes ahead with its plan to publish the 400-page Harry Potter Lexicon on November 28.
According to the publisher, the book contains much of the same material already found on www.hp-lexicon.org, a fan-created collection of essays and encyclopedic material on the Harry Potter universe, including lists of spells and potions found in the books, a catalog of magical creatures, and even a "who's who in the wizarding world."
In the past, Rowling has expressed support for such fan-driven efforts and has singled out the Harry Potter Lexicon Web site and its editor, Steve Vander Ark, for high praise.
But in the lawsuit – filed on Halloween – Rowling claimed that the print version of the Lexicon would improperly interfere with her plans to write her own definitive Harry Potter encyclopedia, one that would include new material not in the novels.
"I cannot, therefore, approve of `companion books' or `encyclopedias' that seek to preempt my definitive Potter reference book for their authors' own personal gain," Rowling said in a news release issued by Warner Bros.
The film giant owns all the intellectual property related to the Potter books and movies.
RDR Books Publisher Roger Rapoport said the suit dismayed him but vowed that he wouldn't allow it to block plans to release the Lexicon next month.
He described the book as a "critical reference work" and dismissed any notion that it could compete with any official encyclopedia written by Rowling.
Rapoport said Vander Ark was a middle school librarian who started the Web site in his spare time in 2000, then watched its popularity grow to the point where Rowling herself gave it a Fan Site Award in 2004.
"He cannot understand why she wouldn't be supportive now," Rapoport said.
Warner Bros. has involved Vander Ark in its Potter marketing campaigns in the past.
An interview with Vander Ark is even slated to be included in the special features section of the next Harry Potter DVD, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
An e-mail seeking comment that was sent to Vander Ark at an address on the Web site was not immediately returned.
The lawsuit does not seek action against the Web version of the Lexicon, but criticises it for numerous sections that it said "regurgitate Ms. Rowling's original creative expression with minimal additional commentary."
The seventh and final installment in Harry's adventures, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was published in July.
The seven books have sold nearly 400 million copies and have been translated into 64 languages. | |

| Well at least now we know that there will be an enyclopdea writen by J.k. I think that would have been a good idea and I too do not understand why J.k refused to let them carry it out. | |

| HPLexicon was there for a long time
I think JK Rowling just want to have her own encyclopdeia since if lexion publishes, she will have 'competition'
but it'll be nice to have the info from the author's POV | |

| The problem with that is now the people wanting to publish the Lexicon would be profiting from JK's creativeness. Plainly and simply, that's plagiarism. Regardless of whether or not they mixede things around or if they added information, the fact is they are stealing her work and using said work to make money. The encyclopedia she plans on writing will have all proceeds donated to charity.
The website is fine, because no one's trying to gain anything from it. | |

| I fully agree with Kitty. That would be like trying to publish a fanfiction out of someone else's work - nobody complains about fanfictions being on the net, because it is merely for amusement, but if it was actually published, there would be problems for sure. | |
