I honestly don’t believe him. If he had any doubts at all, maybe he should of NOT gone forward and seeked legal advise on his own? every action has a reaction and in his professtion, I just don’t buy it. Sadly this all came down to lack of respect, common sense and greed. I hope he and rdr loose this case.

I can’t wait to read more of what he said. I wish this would be over with… If Jo doesn’t want it published then it shouldn’t be published. It isn’t the fist time something is being asked not to publish and Steve is taking this too far.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on this.

“he was talked into it and he, too, had substantial concerns ”? didn’t he just recently say, that they should win? all of a sudden he is concerned? what about his interview, where he said something completely opposite?

I will wait to read Leaky’s version of todays testimony before I believe other sites, I think. Although I’m glad that he is feeling the reprecussions.

Steve had a choice – Should he do what is right or what is easy? RIP Cedric and Albus.

I had a feeling that Steve would use the “was talked into publication by the publishing company” card.

Was Jo there?

way to own up and take responsibility for your own actions, steve. oh wait…

Yes, we need more information regarding exactly what was said. He did say he was pressured into doing this, than this is completely different than what he said in an interview two weeks ago. Plus, he always had a choice. He could have backed out.

I’m eagerly awaiting to hear his exact words.

Wow…. so now he stabbs the company that was going to publish him… if he had had those actual thoughts, he wouldn’t have been fighting so vigorously to publish his book. He would’ve stopped period. Tsk, tsk.

WOW! HEY STEVE, Sounds so much like the excuses that the Death Eaters used when they thought that Lord Voldemort was defeated when he murdered Harry’s Parents but failed to kill the Boy Who Lived.. History should repeat itself and SVA’s powers should be destroyed and JKR like the Boy will continue to grow and enjoy life as it should be.

I’m not really sure what to think, because Jo has the stuff about the Lexicon being her natural home, and now she says it is incorrect and sloppy etc, but then Jo is the one who created the world of Harry

I think we all agree in one thing-we support Jo ofcourse! If she doesn’t want it-then NO! And who are they comparing to her?! She has all the rights on HP. It’s her story,it changed her life,my life and milions of others! and I’ll wait 10 more years or more for JOs LEXICON and other books! GO JO! thank you and God bless you!

SVA may actually be feeling some regret now about believing RDR’s take on copyright infringement. He’s still a JKR/HP fan.

Thanks for the updates, Leaky.

Come on you guys. He has been doing the Lexicon all along. Everyone looked at this from time to time. If Jo did not want him doing the Lexicon she should have said something years ago. Why was it OK to provide this timeline etc. when it was for free? It is not like he is going to be writing anything other than what he has already put into his web site. There are books already out there written by other authors. Why is his the only one being sued??
