Comment: and jco808, how much do you think J.K. Rowling makes off the sale of a single book? It's not that much. If she completely took off the chunk of the price that went to herself, it might make each book about ten cents cheaper. The vast majority goes to publishing costs and to paying cover artists, graphic designers, editors, and the like.

Comment: This is not fair journalism. How about telling the other side of the story? J.K. Rowling has plans to write her own Harry Potter encyclopedia, the proceeds from which would go to charity. Steven Vander Ark's book not only violates Rowling's copyright, its publication would hurt the sales of Rowling's forthcoming book. Not to mention, a decision in favor of Mr. Vander Ark would set a precedent for the violation of copyrights in the future. This article is horribly biased and poorly researched.
Comment: she's def not greedy. she's one of the most charitable humanitarians in the world
Comment: she isn't greedy! she's one of the most charitable humanitarians in the world
Comment: Yes she is greedy. Did you see the price of her last book? I think it's great that these books got younger people reading. However, she could have told her publisher to make that book $12.95 which would have made it accessible for a lot more younger readers.
Comment: Oh please, this is so ridiculous. J.K. has every right in the world to stand up and keep her work from being ripped off and since when did standing up for yourself make you mean and greedy??

Comment: How does standing up for yourself make you mean and greedy? And don't get me started with the whole grown-man-crying because he lost thing...Give him a pacifier and send him on his way. Next!
Comment: I don't see how J.K. is in the wrong here. She's protecting her copyright and her creation. Who cares if she's already made billions of dollars? Does this mean she doesn't have the same rights as everyone else? I don't think so. Good for J.K. for standing up for herself.
