Salinger wins case against crumby Colting

That was mean. I'm sure Colting is an all right guy.

Anyway, turns out Sixty Years Later won't be appearing in U.S. bookstores any time soon, as Judge Deborah Batts has ruled in the favor of J.D. Salinger and blocked its publication within the United States.

Well, that settles that.

Recently I wrote a 100-page comparative research paper on the treatment of parody in the copyright laws of common law countries and selected European countries. Thus, I could not help but voice my thoughts regarding the ongoing dispute between J.D. Salinger and the author and publishers of a purported sequel to The Catcher in the Rye.

I have posted my new article “Why Courts Should Not Allow the Parody Exception to Make a Parody of the Copyright Law” at http://mincov.com/articles/index.php/fullarticle/Salinger_Parody/

I hope you don’t mind me using your blog to advertise it. I would appreciate any comments you may have with regard to my article.

That was a great article, and a fantastic analysis of the issue of parody exception and copyright. It definitely gave me a better understanding of the entire situation.
