Also, the main idea in fanfiction, is that it is done by FANS. Who respect what Jo has done, but have other thoughts. The same goes for fan art. That makes sense.

Fanfiction has been around for a while now. Also Rowling has said that she thinks it is good for people to write about her world. She says that "if it helps people understand writing and makes them write then fanfiction is great". I guess that copywrite only comes in to play if there is money being made.

I think that as long as you aren't profiting from it, and you aren't claiming that it's your own, it's fine. I'm not sure why though. I don’t know.

Why is it only copyright infringement to use another person's work for profit? Shouldn't any use of another person's work without their direct permission be copyright infringement, even if you're not making money off of it? Which is fine for Leaky & others because most of what they do is commentary & analysis, which is protected. But fan sites, with images from the movies & books, & stories using JKR's characters, how are they protected? Simply because JKR & WB & Bloomsbury haven't wanted to go after them...yet?
