It's not an issue of "who is the better person" and "may the best one win"; the issue is if the Lexicon infringes upon JKR's copyright laws.

And I think it does.

So, to set a precedent for other authors, this could be considered a landmark case. Especially if you notice this:

Very good point. Kinda makes me nervous, as a fan-fic writer too.
