Autographed by who?
Previously: WB figures out how to hit print, a restraining order is granted, both RDR and SVA update, Whomping Willows weigh in, a Salon blogger doesn't get it, comments explode.
Today, fromauralan: You, too, can contribute to RDR's defense fund.
We will continue to update on our legal defense of author Steve Vander Ark. Because we have agreed to not take new orders until the court makes its decision at a February 8 hearing on the plaintiff's request for an injunction, you can still buy any of our other books. If you have already ordered the Lexicon and would like to have your prepayment refunded simply email us. Otherwise your payment will be held in an escrow account until the court decides if we can ship you the book. RDR Books welcomes your support for our significant legal expenses in this David and Goliath legal battle. You can help us defend the rights of authors like Steve Vander Ark and readers everywhere by buying our other titles on this site or at your favorite bookstore. We also welcome contributions to the RDR Books Lexicon Defense Fund. All contributors will receive a free autographed book from RDR, ideal for Christmas giving.
ETA 2: Fromimmlass, more from Salon: More on why Rowling is wrong on the Potter lexicon.
ETA 3: By legionseagle, viablackflag: Top Ten Hints For Stopping An Awkward Situation Turning Into an Multi-Part Farce.
Fromlerefuge: Harmony Forever weighs in. The Avada Kedavra satellite referenced: a classic Scott Lynch LJ entry. Note: Early on, when I was casting a wider net and posting a lot of different things because we didn't quite know in what direction things were going to go, I linked to some speculation here that the Lexicon had an anti-Ginny bias. I shouldn't have done that--it didn't have anything to do with the lawsuit. It was wanky and I'm sorry.
Fromtunxeh: A new thread about the lawsuit on Boing Boing. It's based around the Salon link, by the way.
tez shows up with the Seal of Extreme Fail! Huzzah!
ETA 4: Fromlucky13: Ars Technica doesn't get it, either.
ETA 5: Fromauralan: RDR was served, and apparently the recipient (Rapoport?) refused to give his name to the server.
ETA 6:tunxeh: "And now it's on Slashdot. Linked only to the Ars Technica post, which calls the Lexicon a blog and seems to be based on the Salon story. Or maybe Ars Technica is based on Boing Boing's take on the Salon story, I can't tell any more."
ETA 7: Fromauralan: RDR updates again. "The irony of an author suing a librarian has not been lost on many commentators including one attorney who told us: 'If the world's first libraries opened this year, I seriously wonder if there might be lawyers at the front door trying to stop reference books of all kinds from going up on the shelves.'"
