He urged them to settle the case back when it was in trial.
Yep. And I have to wonder, did SVA not really see how using so much with Rowling's exact phrasings was a problem?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I have mixed feelings about the opinion as a lawyer and a librarian.

While I say, "Yes, this!" I also think that with Rowling's admission she used it, and that the film people used it, etc., they probably should have treated him a little better from the beginning and not sent him a letter when he suggested himself as editor that she works alone because, er. . . she'd already admitted to using his work.

I dunno, I assume that RDR, and more than a few lawyers, genuinely thought it was fair use as well. It's not like there was one jerk who didn't know what was obvious to the rest of the world.

Hey. New board.
musical theater history book I'm reading
Ooh. Which?
This is how I got into The Babysitters Club.
For me it was Seventeen Magazine. Which I no longer read, but I rather blame that for my direction in fiction choices thereafter.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Ooh. Which?
No Legs, No Jokes, No Chance by Sheldon Patinkin, Mandy's cousin and a professor of theater at Chicago's Columbia College. (The title comes from the opinion of either a critic or Broadway insider, can't remember which, about Oklahoma before it debuted.) It's very comprehensive, well written, and does a good job of placing the various shows in context by giving a brief overview of what's going on in the world at the beginning of each chapter.

Hey. New board.
That looks great. I may pick up a copy on my next trip to B&N (sadly, it isn't available on Kindle.)
Thanks for the tip!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Gris - I was wondering the other night whether you'd seen/enjoyed Mamma Mia?
Bit random, I know, but with your penchant for rather more girl-power books etc it struck me that you might enjoy it.

Hey. New board.
I haven't seen the film version yet. I saw the stage production long ago, and enjoyed it - fun and fluffy. I'll see the movie eventually, I'm sure.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought Buffistas would appreciate today's Wondermark. (Don't forget the alt-text.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh how I love it. I want to clutch it my breast and call it Georgiana.
