Am I Wrong?

Apr 13th, 2008 • Categories: Creative

Distributing copies of a “Harry Potter” book, in any format, without payment, is wrong according to my best understanding and ethical sense so far.  But stopping the publication of a lexicon for the world of Harry Potter — which to me is a clearly transformative kind of thing — seems equally wrong.

Why do you say that this is unethical?

Hi Peter,

I’ve also left a comment on your post (which I’m sure you know by now). I want to try to do justice to your request, but I don’t think I can do so right now in this comment box. I’ll compose a full post soon that will try to explain my understanding of this.

Thanks for your comments.
