DESTRO from G.I. JOE - May 07, 2008 - 07:35pm
Yeah, I want to see the mask too. And Vaporman, if you really want to know, do a like google search. I saw they spoiler and wish I could have gone in not knowing. I'm sure it would have been obvious once I sit down to watch the movie, but it would've been a cool "aha" moment in the theater. I think imdb.com even has it spoiled.

That looks like a cool story. Looking forward to it, and Solomon Kane.

As an (unpublished) author, JKR is doing the right thing. The thing about copy right is you have to defend it. If you don't, you set a precedent for others to infringe on your work too. The Lexicon was ok, as long as it was a free website. When he tried to get it published (and make a profit), that's where the guy crossed the line. This is why numerous authors don't even allow fan fiction based on their characters these days. Not to be jerks, but because it becomes a slippery slope, as JKR is now learning. It's not so big of a step from published stories, resources, lexicons online, and the same appearing in the bookstore along side the original works. She is fighting this so hard to prevent it from ever happening again. And let's not forget Warner Brothers, who paid a pretty penny to have rights to the world. The lexicon infringes on their purchased rights too. This affects all future author rights deals, as this ruling could set a precedent. The amount of money JKR has made is irrelevant. Her copyright is protected whether she has made $5 selling a printout to her great aunt or the billions she's made from the rest of the world.
