Yes, she's been talking about doing an encyclopedia for years (she was waiting until after the series was over), and essentially let the guy put the information on his website, under the condition that he wasn't competing with her in publishing. His encyclopedia is completely based on her books and "borrows" large portions by essentially putting together segments of the books that were told in a non-linear fashions, in linear passages.
She didn't sue him for the money, she sued him to prevent him from publishing, and she's really not been overzealous about suing like some other authors have been.
If it were Disney, and not warner brothers, he'd be in serious trouble.
