Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

did not "copy" any elements from

Willy the Wizard and the Livid Land (published 10 yrs earlier)

Willy the Wizard is about

a wizard schoolboy

who travels to wizard school on a special train

and takes part in a wizard contest

in which he has to perform a series of challenging tasks

but is assisted by the ghost of a young girl

who lives in the bathroom



So ... totally different. No plagiarism there.

Paddy ...

What an odd proposition.

You have an idea ...

I wait until the time is right, and then nick it.

And ... I guess that's okay then.

Is anything really truly original anymore?
nothing is original in life and its all been done before.

No, because she is very, very wealthy ...

With one possible exception, all of Shakespeare's plays were a retelling of existing tales.

So JKR is in good company.

Leggy ...

Microsoft got a "footballer's Fine"

ie. they received a huge fine, equivalent to about 30 seconds earnings.

I think Bill Gates paid it out of Petty Cash.

And what was their "offence" ...

Bundling their web browser in with their base software

(and so creating an artificial market ... a classic antitrust case)

And do they STILL bundle their web browser in with their base software?

Yes !
jayne irrespective of the fine

i have proven that im right and you are wrong.


the american courts would indeed go against jk rowling if they thought it was the correct thing to do


like bill gates .


are you seriously saying jk rowly has anywhere near his money or muscle or his lawyers?

surely you jest littlle woman.

tsk tsk



lol



Computer ****** Bill Gates has been toppled from his 13-year standing as the world's richest man.
The founder of Microsoft has been pushed into third place on the Forbes rich list, despite a fortune of �29billion and a �1billion increase in his wealth last year.





Harry Potter author JK Rowling is Britain's only woman on the list, coming in 1,062nd with $1billion (�504million).



SO IN THE LAST YEAR BILL GATES WEALTH AHS INCREASED


BY AS MUCH AS THE TIOTAL OF THE ROWLY WOMAN ?

MMMM


METHINKS IM RIGHT BTW


LOL
microsoft are so rich they were fined $2.4 billion dollars


thats 2.4 times the worth of jk rowling
