JKR vs SVA

[lady_karelia]

I dunno. It might help for the fandom to stand united in this case and condemn Steve Vander Ark and show support for JKR. It was all dandy when he was just generating advertising revenue from the lexicon site, and I just cannot imagine that that only paid for keeping up the site. However, putting "his" lexicon into a book format, excluding the essays on the site to boot, reeks of greed. And plagiarism.

I am boycotting the lexicon.

Beautiful. *grins*

I understand why people are sympathetic to SVA, but all the sympathy is just so annoying! The fact that he signed that damn contract AND put the lawsuit clause in makes him just as guilty and not nearly as innocent as he portends to be. A true fan, or someone truly familiar with the law (or someone who, y'know, took the time to get a second opinion), would never have signed that contract. Someone who respects JKR, knowing she planned to write an encyclopedia full of facts no one knows, would not publish such an encyclopedia.

So, anyway... much love to TPP for that lovely little message after the logo. :-)
