It's ludicrous; a transformative criticism, my butt.
Oh, I think this argument fails in this case, even more than it does for most fanfic interpretations. That said, I'm still curious what the judge has to say in her order/opinion.
I'm a bit stunned it got published at all.
Ditto. I looked up the copyright provisions in the UK, notably the "fair dealing" issue. I think it's limited to non-commercial use of copyrighted material...and this book definitely does not qualify.
Now I want to see the author's license agreement with his UK publisher. I wonder if they agreed to publish, but refused to indemnify him for any future legal trouble. ;)
