Episode #89: Rowling Defeats Vander Ark
It has been almost 6 months coming, but Judge Robert Patterson finally handed down the verdict in the JK Rowling/WB vs. Steve Vander Ark/RDR lawsuit. And the winner is…..JK Rowling. In this week’s episode, we discussed the decision, the reactions of both sides, what this means for the Harry Potter fandom as well as the future of copyright law.
We also officially announced the rules for our Beedle the Bard YouTube Contest. Please make sure to enter, we want to be able to give out the books to some worthy winners!
Finally, take a look at the Wall Street Journal Article (page 1, baby!) that mentions our Hitler Half Blood Prince Delay video. The article only portrays us as only *slightly* crazy…:)

Hi everyone! You all have to see this video on Youtube It is the most saddest video I have ever saw. The title is The Forest Again With Audio Book. Its from Chapter 34 of DH with Jim Dale reading and video clips that makes it look like the movie! Everyone please watch it! Tell me if you agree with me.

Thanks for another fun episode. Like Penny, I feel for SVA. I was amazed by the level of detail he put into his website and presentations at Prophecy. I find it had to believe that he would put together anything that was less than that. The whole thing is unfortunate.
Another Youtube rec: Harry Potter and the Deadly Abridgment, Chapter 1. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50rHxDBALWI I will warn for language. Hope you enjoy.
