Comments on: Legal Magic: Can J.K. Rowling Make Unauthorized Companion Books Disappear? http://iplj.net/blog/archives/40 Fordham Intellectual Property Media and Entertainment Law Blog Wed, 26 May 2010 18:57:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tara Waters http://iplj.net/blog/archives/40/comment-page-1#comment-223 Tara Waters Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:38:26 +0000 http://iplj.net/blog/2008/03/12/legal-magic-can-jk-rowling-make-unauthorized-companion-books-disappear/#comment-223 I disagree in that I think the market impact factor will decide the outcome of this case. That Rowling plans to produce a lexicon of her own is clear evidence of a potential market that would be displaced by allowing Vander Ark to publish his book now. My prediction: if Warner and Rowling can earn royalties or sell a license, they'll ultimately let him publish irregardless of the outcome.
