'Harry Potter' plagiarism case

This story has legs.

In my travels, I came across a fairly interesting and intelligent discussion thread on the whole "Harry Potter" plagiarism business on an unlikely source -- PerezHilton.com! Not that I don't love me some Perez, but to think that some of his readers are actually this interesting and capable of intelligent discussions (some are not, mind you, so watch out for language)...

Check it out if you have a sec -- I'm still behind you, Jo. This case is not going to go away, and the implications of the judge's ruling will have a very strong ripple across the 'net. Whether or not you care about the HP books, you should care about this case.

A crying man does not equal an innocent man.
