I hear J.K. Rowling is suing a newspaper for leaking a bit of her new book.

Did anyone see that show on 60 Minutes where they showed that a woman in Colorado or somewhere wrote some kids books that had almost all the character's and names in them that are now in the Harry Potter Books?

The woman was a bit of an older hippie type and got really pissed off when she wrote another one of her books and all the publishers refused to publish it because they said that she was ripping off Rowlands.

She'd never heard of Rowlands and pointed out that her books have been out for years before H.P.

The show on 60 minutes basically did everything but call Rowlands a thief.

The woman sued Rowlands but I never heard anything after.

Anyone?
