BBM Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
opinionista:
Her lawyer is definitely giving her a terrible advice if she intends to go on with the lawsuit. She is either stupid or insanely greedy.
nakymaton:
She's not suing Annie Proulx because the novel is copyrighted 2005. (According to the copyright info on Amazon, at least.)
And the lawsuit is probably going forward to attempt to get publicity for the book. It wouldn't take much research at all to discover that the scenes Scott-Blanton describes were all published in a short story in the New Yorker in 1997. ::) Heck, I've got a screenplay draft that's older than her novel.
SFEnnisSF:
Well, the author of this vampire book should sue the other author of that vampire book then.
The author of this love story should sue the other author of that love story.
The author of this 'how to get rich' book should sue the other author of that 'how to get rich' book.
::)
Ellemeno:
But you guys, it says that the husband and wife in HER book had a conversation in the kitchen. Ennis and Alma have a conversation in their kitchen. If that doesn't prove something, I don't know what does.
::)
ifyoucantfixit:
it is my considered opinion, that if there is a lawyer there is way; to make a suit i mean
if they see a chance however remote..they are going to make a suit...they have no
intention of really winning a suit, but they probably hope to get a quick settlement in order
to have a quick piece of cash....
