Linkage mostly for my own benefit...
I don't have a lot of time for fandom_wank - fandom's schoolyard bully - but it's been a useful source for the Harry Potter Lexicon legal fight over the past few months.
Leaky Cauldron has a detailed summary of day one in court here.
And from there I found![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jkrtrialblog. I doubt that anyone, anywhere will provide an impartial account of events (short of the actual court records, obviously, but they're not online!), but these seem reasonably factual, unlike most of the professional press articles on the subject, most of which seem to focus on JKR's celebrity instead of the facts of the lawsuit.
Mostly, I stay the hell out of HP fandom because I'm a fan of the books. The insanity of that particular fandom is nothing I want in on. So I've never read the Lexicon and I have no clue how much of it is directly plagiarised from JKR's books. But the one thing all sides in this case agree on is that it has major implications for fandom as a whole. I'm following with interest.

Nothing to do with HP, but I totally need to bookmark this.
