Post J.K. Rowling to appear in New York court for trial against Lexicon

J.K. Rowling is reported to appear in New York next month in hers and Warner Bros.'s case against RDR Books, which is trying to publish a comprehensive Harry Potter encyclopedia written by the publishers of the Harry Potter Lexicon.

Quote:
A New York Federal District Court Judge on Monday ordered the case to go to trial on April 14. A lawyer for RDR Books said Rowling was expected to appear to give evidence in the case.

"We asked for her and they said they would provide her," said lawyer David Hammer. "I would say it would be very unlikely that she would not appear," he added. The witness list needs to be handed to the judge in the case by April 4.
It has also been announced that the case will be decided by a judge rather than a jury.

You can read more on the history of the case at the links below.

I can't believe this is still going on, soon it will be over. It be 1 in a million chance for Lexicon to actually win this.

unlikely for her to appear...:/ meh....

if she did come though, I wish she'd do some other activity like book signing or something...I mean, travel all those miles from Europe to NYC to come to court...I mean, it's not like there aren't any court houses there!

This is rediculous!!!!! Why Lexicon even thinks that they stand a chance against Jo, they should have just gave up at the first trial, and just like Ginny GL said, "this whole thing is hurting the whole fandom!" GIVE UP ALREADY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN THIS LEXICON!!!!!

i acctually think that lexicon will win this because Lexicon would have started at some point last year to even get anywere near finishing it because ive seen it and it isnt really that good but Lexicon would have started it even before jo announced that she was making one

Keeper of Mr Tennant's specs

the leaky cauldron have publicaly distanced themself from the lexicon owner. Jo is in the right here this is her work and I hope the judge agrees with here, mr vanderark is compleatly wrong.

That doesn't give them copyright ownership over content which is hers.

No it isn't; the date was re-arranged once because she wouldn't be available (she was in court over that picture of her son).

Quote:
I wish she'd do some other activity like book signing or something...I mean, travel all those miles from Europe to NYC to come to court...I mean, it's not like there aren't any court houses there!
I doubt she'll be in the mood, to be honest with you. This whole facade has to be totally depressing.

That's nothing compared to what'll happen if he wins. And we're talking about all fandoms, not just HP.
