I've read that, thanks. And it's still "alleged" since no one's seen proof and one interviewer asked him where the money goes and he had no response- another issue altogether. I don't think it's the same thing. Emerson's not selling someone else's content repackaged for his profit- he's selling space to discuss the content.

Vander Ark is selling Rowling's ideas under his aegis. It's not authorized. I'd have to read more about it, but I think the argument that this is all fine because Rowling hasn't put her encyclopedia out in a timely fashion is specious at best. :P
