I agree.
JK is screwed up in the head. She almost broke down and cried when on the stand.
The guy wrote the Harry Potter lexicon on his website and it was no big deal then. Warner Bros admitted to using it when they developed the movie. And Electronic Arts printed off all of it and stuck it on their walls when they developed the game. And JK said that she used the site.
And she said that other Harry Potter books are cool.
During the trial, the judge said that if JK loses, then she will just appeal all the way to the Supreme Court and that maybe the Court isn't the appropriate place to deal with this matter.
So that is why he wanted to award minimum damages. Then nobody would appeal and this case would be over.
And the Court has the option of awarding the prevaling party its attorneys' fees. But it hasn't done so in this case. JK may make a motion to ask for it, but they probably won't get it.
