Entry tags:entitlement, fandom: harry potter, internet lawyers, person: anne rice, person: jkr, this is the wank that never ends

Sorry to post again, but this is fairly significant: via Leaky Lounge, full transcripts of all three days of the Lexicon trial. They are from Stanford (whose Fair Use Project is providing RDR's defense), but it's more than we've had before. The discussion of these transcripts at LL is worth reading, by the way.

(Previously on the Thirty Years’ Wank: A metric ton of articles and an interview with SVA. Watch This Page for update alerts.)

ETA: Anne Rice weighs in.

ETA 2 (May 1): Okay, I'm a bit behind on ETA links, but:

[info]insanitys_place: The Lexicon has corrected the "Alohomora" entry with information from JKR's testimony... not that it's credited as such.

Neil Gaiman weighs in again (and again).

[info]waltraute: Orson Scott Card weighs in.

[info]foresthouse: "This article from CNN by "a legal analyst on "American Morning" is new and discusses the law and views from different lawyers (like Tim Wu who was mentioned before). It's well written."

[info]jedi_dwh: "The Hollywood Reporter is still on the case, and doing a pretty good job of keeping things balanced. It appears their law writers actually- GASP- do their homework!"

Ouch: Potter fan a crybaby in court.

I should go to bed. I really should go...

Q. You don't have any advanced degrees of any sort, do you,
8 Mr. Vander Ark?
9 A. I have taken courses, graduate courses in library science
10 and literacy.
11 Q. But you don't have any advanced degrees beyond the BA, is
12 that correct?
13 A. That is correct.
14 Q. And the middle school you had worked for asked for your
15 resignation in 2007, is that true?
16 A. That is correct.


Feel the burn, Steve. Feel it.

The Thirty Wars' Wank? More like "JKR has always been at war with SVA, civilian" wank.

New transcripts = ♥. How do you find the time to bring us this delicious lulz?

21 Q. And what you say in that award is this is such a great site
22 that I have been known to sneak into an internet cafe while out
23 writing and check a fact rather than go into a book store and
24 by a copy of Harry Potter, which is embarrassing. A website
25 for the dangerously obsessive; my natural home.
1 That's your language, correct?
2 A. That's my language.
3 Q. That wasn't written by Mr. Vander Ark, was it?
4 A. Well, it probably will be at some point, but no, he hasn't
5 done it yet.

Bah, Leaky is blocked at work because somebody somewhere knows it's a messageboard/forum. For those in a similar sitch, the Stanford page with the transcripts is here.

84EVWAR5 Rapoport - direct
1 A. Right. That's what I wrote, yes.
2 Q. Okay. Now, I'd like to direct your attention now to
3 Plaintiffs' Exhibit 77. And you see a cover there, The
4 Muskegon Chronicle, from July 23rd, 2007?
5 A. Correct.
6 Q. And I'd like to -- if Mr. Hoy, if you can go to the next
7 page of that exhibit.
8 Do you see an article there titled "Schlumpy Librarian
9 Holds Key to All Things Harry Potter"?


At least they're not comparing him to Harry Potter.
Also, the Rappaport questioning is amazing.

18 Q. What did you mean, sir, when you said that there were --
19 what did you mean by "academic scholar" in this email?
20 A. Well, I think Steve is a pretty good example.
21 THE COURT: Who?
22 THE WITNESS: Steve Vander Ark, the author. I think
23 he's a good example.
24 Q. Of an academic scholar?
25 A. You bet.
1 Q. Any others?
2 A. All the people you just named.
3 Q. They are all academic scholars?
4 A. They all have -- in this world that they are in, they do
5 reference work, they do indexing, they do research, they do --
6 yes, this is a good example. It's not unlike Wikipedia.
7 Q. Any masters or Ph.D.s in literature?
8 A. No.
9 Q. Did you tell that to Mr. Valet in that email
10 A. No.

Rapport on Direct, day one. About the family death.

Q. And you were -- advised us of a family tragedy of yours,
19 right?
20 A. Right.
21 Q. And as you said: You can imagine this has overwhelmed all
22 of us, we are a very close family and I am sure you can
23 understand that this situation has interrupted all of my work
24 including your request.
25 Is that right?
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. And isn't it true, Mr. Rapoport, that it didn't really
3 interrupt all of your work, right?
4 A. I don't understand the question.
5 Q. Well, let's take a look at Exhibit 120.
6 THE COURT: 120.
7 BY MR. SHALLMAN:
8 Q. Do you see an e-mail to Mr. Riff from you dated October
9 3rd, 2007?
10 A. I do.
11 Q. About an hour later, an hour after you had sent that e-mail
12 to us, is that right?
13 A. That's right.

14 Q. And you said here is a copy of our flyer for the Harry
15 Potter Lexicon, right?
16 A. Right.
17 Q. And you said you were going to send sample pages to
18 Mr. Riff and the British cover the next day, right?
19 A. That's true.
20 Q. You also offered to send the entire manuscript via e-mail,
21 is that right?
22 A. That's true.
23 Q. But one hour before that you had told us that all of your
24 work had been interrupted, right?
25 A. That's true.

I haven't read all the documents but a few things stuck out to me on the day three transcript:
1. Sorenson didn't have a clue about several of the books she included in her declaration.
-She didn't want to be bothered with reading these books.
2. Johnson's Latin pwnage knows no bounds of awesome.

Cleo, this article from CNN by "a legal analyst on "American Morning" is new and discusses the law and views from different lawyers (like Tim Wu who was mentioned before). It's well written.

Personally, I don't agree with the particular statement of Tim Wu as quoted (I think he doesn't have enough familiarity with the text of the Lexicon - otherwise I don't know how he could call SVA an "author.") But anyway.

I am way too amused by the fact that the transcript talks of "the cannon of Ms. Rowling"

The wank discussion worth reading, is that in the part 10 thread on Leaky Lounge?

Best only slightly out of context quote from day 3:


THE COURT: We have gotten into Narnia and I don't know where we are...

In her testimony Prof Sorensen says she's a tenured professor of literature at The University of California at Berkley. Before that she also had tenure at Indiana University and taught there for 13 years. In questioning about her work there, she outlined some specifics:

I taught a range of courses from Seventeenth through Twentieth Century British and American literature at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Later, in cross examination, this exchange occurred:

Q. In teaching students, have any students written papers for you on the role of the hero in literature?
A. No.


Excuse me? How is that remotely possible?

I'd say that would have been a really good time to not be able to recall or state that her TAs graded most of the papers. Seriously, a literature professor didn't have one student in over 13 years write a paper on the role of the hero in literature? I call shenanigans.

Ooh! Will there be no more random misogyny linked this update?

This blog post (the one to which Anne Rice replied as linked above) is full of lulz: http://www.dawnpapuga.com/2008/04/20/dear-ms-rowling/

I also hope that the judge sees through the games you, your lawyer, and Warner Brothers are trying to play, and instead chooses to protect academic and fair use freedoms.

Pshaw. If I tried to use the Lexicon for a paper, I'd get a big fat smackdown.

Anne Rice has spoken! Truly the Thirty Years Wank is bountiful. If McCaffrey comes up somehow, this will be my favorite wank ever.

Someone can call me if I'm out of line on this, but this would explain the shitty Latin refs.
From SVA's testimony:
"Q. Do any of these editors have specialized knowledge or education?
A. Besides myself, two others are librarians and one of my staff is a teacher of Latin and Greek."
In other words, I'm expected to read this person's mind. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! Except for Homoinis.
