Do you think JK Rowling is greedy?
I mean yahoo just posted the article about how she is trying to sue some Indians who are making a replica of her Hogwarts school. They only want to model it and have some fun on their religious holiday and have no means of profiting from it. And she wants app. $50,000?!? Why? Does that mean if I make a cake in Mickey Mouse’s image I should have to pay Disney Co. money too?
If I were her I would be honored for them to build something base on what I’ve had already made millions and millions on. It would be different if they were trying to sell it.
Your thoughts please.
If you read the article at The Scotsman – http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1629072007 – I think you’ll see that the driving force behind it is J.K. Rowlings’ lawyers and Warner Brothers. I suppose legally they have a right, but personally I think it could have been handled a bit better.
Making a Mickey Mouse cake wouldn’t be on a par; I think you’d have to build a replica of the Magic Kingdom (or something like that) to make a comparison.
With something the size of that, I suppose it would be the right thing to do to get permission. As I said, though, I believe it should have been handled better and not made to look like a money-grubbing operation on the part of J.K. Rowlings and co.
Wouldn’t it have been better to have made them pay A SMALL AMOUNT (perhaps labeling it a fine for failing to gain proper permission beforehand) to get an official okay for this project instead of suing?
