fair point from the wonderful Shannon (i luv your fanfict!!!) - hopefully we won't all be punished for the "sins of the few"!

On the other hand "emotions" & "feelings" of hurt and injustice have no place in this matter, despite the reports of both JKR's & SVA's testimonies! It's about the application of the copyrights held by JKR & WB for HP. Whether the fandom likes it or not, if the decision goes in favour of RDR then all copyright holders will have to exercise much greater control of their work for their own protection.

Perhaps JKR feels a certain amount of betrayal considering her more than generous support and enthusiasm for the fandom including LEXICON but in her recent interview with TLC gave the impression that she was more concerned about having to limit her direct support if she loses?

While those in the fandom will naturally take JKR's side in this you still have to wonder about the advice she is getting (or whether she's listening to it) by rambling on about her "feelings" - particularly there being no jury to sway, as this will finally be a matter of law, not emotions.
