Of course I am opposed to an author's work being outright stolen. But I do believe that derivative works have a place. The questions I have are concerning that place. Which is why I find it interesting that Mr. Petit points out that in his opinion it's a trademark suit (at least, the vibe I'm getting is that it's his opinion only). I've read that this lexicon is mainly taking lots of tiny slices of Ms. Rowling's work and reorganizing them, which makes it different than the other lexicons. I haven't read the lexicon myself, though, so that makes me a poor source on the matter. I feel now that I should have been more clear.

No one has right to use the creativity of some other person for some financial gain. As literature is an art in which only the author who has originally produced it can fill colours.
