Author of Harry Potter Series to Testify Against Copyright Infringement

J.K. Rowling makes a fair arguement against "free culture." This article notes that she is a fan of the Harry Potter Lexicon's free website but that she has to draw the line at publishing the website material in a book and charging for it. She feels the book would be "nothing more than a rearrangement" of her own material.

This is exactly what we have been reading about in terms of copyright becoming all encompassing when it comes to other people using the same material. Its funny to think that it is being decided by the author of Harry Potter
