I guarantee we won’t ever hear that from these guys cause they won’t post it. And I sure as hell won’t remember nor care that much. Add in the fact that this is Canada and not america their laws can be different as well. But here in america? Illegal

Shouldn't we define what the actual bet is?

And then we can each transfer our 10k into an escrow fund and draw up a contract, and we can get this done.

That’s not what we were discussing. We were discussing if it was ILLEGAL or not. Which it IS. I knew you guys wouldn’t be taking this bet

I don't think we will rely on your interpretations of the law.  I'd bet on the outcome of actual case in Canada on his guilt of plagiarism.

I’m familiar with plagiarism. Which this is a textbook example. You can’t rip out everything from the author, publisher, COPYRIGHT pages, and replace it with “your own” stuff then sell it as your work. That’s. A. Lawsuit. Get it through your dumbass head  I swear to God it’s like I’m talking to five year olds who can’t comprehend 2 + 2 = 4

LOL. Why do you think a link takes precedent over an actual court case?

Secondly, do you understand this isn't reproduction of the book?  It's modifying and reselling a book that someone already owns.

I’m not betting on something that could take years. Sorry not my style. It was whether it was illegal or not. I proved you wrong. Man up and admit it instead of “bUt ThE tRiAl”. We all know trial doesn’t mean Sh1t cause we’ve seen murderers get off with technicalities

The bookbinder might be operating in a grey area of trademark laws

Mark McKenna, a professor at UCLA's law faculty, told Insider Flom's work is not in violation of any copyright laws. But there might be a trademark claim — though McKenna says it would be "tricky" for Rowling to prove it. 

"The Supreme Court's Dastar decision prohibits claims based on confusion about the origin of the book as a work of authorship," McKenna said.

"If they're binding and selling physical books, there's an argument that the claim is about the origin of the physical books," McKenna said. 

"But Rowling would have to show that use of her name is not just a statement of authorship, but a trademark, and that's not a slam dunk," he added. 

Rowling and Flom did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

 

You have not proved anything.  A court decides whether something is illegal or not, you don't.  And not that a professor of law is the court, but I'm guessing he knows more about the law than you. So I guess I proved it...man up and admit it.

When it explains the LAW and also provides EXAMPLES of what’s legal and what’s not? Yea I take that over a court case. Murder is illegal right? You admit that wouldn’t you? Would you also be willing to admit that proven murderers get off free during trials? I bet you do. Just cause they committed and illegal act does NOT mean they’ll be found guilty of it even if we know they are. 
 

Secondly, do you not understand it would be FINE if he LEFT her name and the copyright pages in it? THAT along with him inserting “his own brand” is what is the illegal part. Hell, even if he left it from what I read on the gov website THAT would still be copyright infringement

Digby posts a bunch of links that say things like, "If you photocopy a book and sell it, you may be infringing on copyright laws"

Digby stomps his feet and cries about how that constitutes proof of something.

Holy hell bro. You can’t use someone’s entire book, ripping out her name and the copyright, then passing it off. That’s illegal

Keep whining. You know I’m right but now that you made yourself look like a fool you’re doubling down on insults. Typical. Knew you losers would try everything you could instead of just being men and saying “you know what you’re right. I’m sorry” and I’d drop it. But not you retards

Yeah, and we won't have a covid lockdown.  No one should even try to argue with you on that.  Keep dying on those hills.

You ever think of doing reality TV?  This whole false bravado where you kick and scream that you're right works really well on reality tv.
