Julie, I love ya, but that is a deeply silly asking price. But of course you know that.
Charles Petit doesn't quite seem to agree or disagree with the opinion itself, just explain the gist of what it means. But from what I know of fair use doctrine and what Petit reproduced of the judge's opinion, it sounds as though the guy and his publisher were well outside the bounds of fair use. And I like that Rowling wasn't happy about having to smack down a fan.

I can't help but wonder if someone is trying to take advantage of one-click shopping. Sorta like the "I Am Rich" app for the iPhone.
Yes, Petit just explained some of the points. If I somehow implied that he was endorsing or refuting the opinion, that was not my intention.

Steve Vander Ark even told the publishing company that if he wrote the book he could possibly be sued. He made the publisher promise to legally represent him if that happened.
(can't find the source right now, but I can if anyone wants it)
I am still middle of the road on this case. There are good points on both sides.
If anything good has come of it, JKR has gotten her butt in gear to write HER encyclopedia.
