Rowling won the suit

[pegkerr]

J. K. Rowling won her suit against RDR books (the company that was attempting to publish the HP Lexicon.) That's the way I hoped/expected it to go.

I noticed that the HP Lexicon website was down a couple of days ago. I wonder if it'll ever be back. It was a useful resource. As much as I deplore Steve's decisions, I'll be sorry if it won't come back.

He screwed himself on that one. No one to blame.

Wah - like you, I found the Lexicon very very handy, many a time. I'll be very sad if it doesn't come back - although didn't JKR say she might publish something lexicon-ish eventually?

It's down because they're doing a domain transfer, you can get to it here: http://www.hp-lexicon.info

But also, I always found the Harry Potter Wikia to be easier to use and navigate (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page).


Also, sorry to invade your journal. Found you on the friendsfriends page. And sorry for the multiple edits.

Thanks very much for the info! I really appreciate it.

No problem!

I know we disagree on this, but just going on what's been presented to the public, I'm surprised and dismayed. It's a lousy precedent.

Apparently, it has just changed domains. You can now find it at http://www.hp-lexicon.info.
