Today I come with some more news on the court case between JK Rowling and Steve Vander Ark and RDR Publishing. A video of JKR giving a statement can be seen HERE. USA Today has an article online about the case.  Vander Ark has stated:

“It’s been … it’s been,” he stammered, choking on his words. “It’s been difficult because there has been a lot of criticism, obviously, and that was never the intention. … This has been an important part of my life for the last nine years or so.”
During his testimony Tuesday, Vander Ark acknowledged that he, too, had substantial concerns all along about whether publishing an encyclopedia based on Rowling’s Potter universe would constitute copyright infringement.
He said he was talked into doing it by the publishing company.
