I was trying to type a response that said, "You're a complete fucking moron," only in a nicer way. So it's just as well she deleted her comment; I was failing badly in my attempt.

But here's her comment, for the record, and for ongoing lulz:

so flipping confused ...

as far as I can tell Paramount and Gene Roddenberry never clamped down on fannish activities because fans weren't making any money off them.

But what about the MEGABUCKS Emerson ("If I can meet Harry Potter fans' needs and make money at the same time, why shouldn't I?") and presumably Melissa make off advertising on their sites? I doubt the Lexicon book would ever have made a six-figure income .. or at least not a yearly one. So it's clearly not about profiting from JK's fans from HP-related things, because WB and JKR have always made open declarations of support for Mugglenet and TLC ... well, like they did at some point openly support the Lexicon.

To be honest, I have NO idea about the legal whatsits of this case. None, and I will be v interested in the outcome of the hearing. But since the public media/press lawyers tend to consider this a landmark case, maybe it does have more merit than f_w would make one think? Maybe not ;). I truly don't know! What confuses me is all the contradictions -- I have a HP encyclopedia on my bookshelf, so *that* is not the problem; lots of people make money off HP fans so *that* can't be the main issue; JK wants to write her own book, but it's a capitalist society so *that* can't be the problem (no one ever said competition was illegal and I think it's clear we'd all buy JK's book anyway) ... I'm just so confused about what the problem actually is at this point??!!

RDR is a big problem *lol* ... What a weirdo. But again, that doesn't have anything to do with legality right? I mean just because someone is stupid that doesn't mean they're criminal. Criminally stupid, maybe ... I can only repeat: will be watching the case with interest as clearly some of the legalese types think both sides have enough merit for it to actually go to court.

	To be fair, I think that post is more about the nasty people who write about stuff that ends up on FW than about FW itself. On the other hand, that deleted comment was really fucking stupid. So I think your point stands. (Reply to this)(Thread)

*waves*
Clearly I am too nosy for my own good. But it's the Brighton comment that drew me to follow your name to your journal since afaik I am the only person to straddle both HP fandom and Brighton. (For the record I did not post that "wank" nor do I have any idea who might have - obviously up to you to believe me or not!)
I deleted my earlier comments because I posted in a moment of madness and wasn't truly invested in getting involved. I also regretted pulling the whole "six figure" Mugglenet quote into the debate because I agreed with subsequent comments that it was not relevant to the wank in question. So I backtracked ... which I do realise is a mistake in f_w etiquette, but seemed like the best thing to do to stop myself from answering back and digging myself an even deeper hole!
I was indeed the Sectus registrations officer but resigned last August and have had nothing to do with the company, committee or discussion of a 2009 event since then and was as surprised as everyone else to get the cancellation e-mail. This is easily verifiable on my journal where I am happy to friend you (although it is incredibly boring and consists mostly of photos of my horses). Why would I do that? In fact why bother writing a comment that will probably get twisted to turn me into a puppy eating monster once more? Simply because the intention of my original comment was genuine. Yes, of course I can see the legal differences between selling a book and selling ad space, etc etc etc; however I can also see that there are lawyers very interested in both sides of the case. Whether it is *morally* right to sell a book repackaging ideas is another kettle of fish altogether and my opinion is probably in accord with the fandom majority on that point, so that certainly isn't something we need to argue about.
Sooo ... hmmmm ... is my hole deep enough to be a grave or can I stop digging?
