I thought I'd venture into truly controversial territory today. ;)

What gets me about all of this--at least from what I've been able to gleen--this guy asked JKR if he could publish this project (for profit). She told him no. He and his publisher proceed. How stupid can you be? And I really have to question the competence of the publisher. If he hadn't broached the idea of permission from the start he could at least claim ignorance or general lack of understanding. The fact that he asked permission to begin with is the first clue that he knew that there at least might be an issue there. I don't see how either he (or the publisher) has a leg to stand on here.
