JK Rowling was sued for stealing ideas form other authors. Frankly speaking, this particular lawsuit seems to be very ridiculous and as to me everyone is always trying to get at least a small piece of this woman’s fortune and talent.

Where to Get Cheap Harry Potter Books
Today a friend of mine has told me that she wants to read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. I am always ready to help my friends, that’s why I’ve started looking for this book. But after a couple of hours it turned out that I gave it to somebody.
That is very bad. First of all, I can’t help my friend and then – I DON’T HAVE THIS COOL BOOK ANYMORE. I have to do something. But what should I do? There is no Azkaban in book shops of my city.

New Harry Potter in French
According to the official data a French boy tried his best and made a translation of the 7th book about Harry Potter, moreover he located it in Internet, where everybody had an opportunity to “get acquainted” with it.
The police have arrested a 16-years-old pupil of high school from the city on the South of France. This boy was kept under the charge for 3 days. The young translator was released just right after the preliminary investigation.
“He made this translation not because of money, he is just a big and devoted fan of Harry Potter and he wanted everybody to be able to read it as quickly as possible”, said the Judge.
But there are some suggestions that there could be a team of professional “Potter-fans”, spending days and hours onto translation. If it turned to be true, they will pay tremendous penalties. The release time of the official translation is October.
By the way, there were no suits from Joan Rowling side. In the United Kingdom the 7th book about Harry Potter adventures – Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – set new records of sale. During the first hour there were sold 50,000 of books (according to the Waterstone’s chain of stores information).
as for me, I am a representative of English-speaking world and fortunately I can buy original version of the book, but I think it is not fair to people which don’t know English. Why it is not possible for author to write and for translators to translate simultaneously?

J.K. Rowling Loses the Court on Privacy
Joan Rowling lost the hearing considering private life of people. She initiated proceedings against a UK photography agency, Rowling wanted photos of her son in order to prohibit further publications of her son photo.
Joan Rowling (Murray according to her husband surname) and her husband had a walk with their son, during this walk, there was made a photo of their song from a very long distance, using a long lens on a photo-camera. The judge on this hearing said, that children of celebrities can not be guaranteed free-press areas. the lawyer of Joan Rawling stated, that the Judge didn’t pay attention, that celebrities suffer from photographers and paparazzi like no other people.
Yeah, Joan Rowling and her family are rich people, famous people, but, first of all, they are just people, and have opportunity for their own, private life and law must be more prepared to such situations and to adopt laws in order them to be ready to protect vulnerable celebrities from invasion onto their rights. Sometimes, it may seem that nobody think about celebrities life! And everybody suppose, that these lives are all so sweet and amazing.
Mrs Murray is going to appeal the decision of the Court, because in this case we deal with the intruding into the life of people. This shot perfectly illustrates that there is celebrities cashing in our world.
