Terminating Copyrights with Extreme Prejudice

J.K. Rowling has set her sights on the US Army.

Lawyers for author JK Rowling are investigating a US army magazine cartoon whose characters bear an uncanny resemblance to Harry Potter.

Preventive Maintenance Monthly, which has a circulation of 100,000, teaches soldiers how to care for their kit.

Its cartoon strip includes a boy wizard called Topper and a professor of Mogmart's School called Rumbledore.

A spokesman for Rowling said she has always taken protection of her copyright "very seriously".

But he added: "It's too early to say whether this case is really something to provide us with major concerns."

What a joke. Does anyone make any money off of this? Of course not. It's an Army magazine; whoever produces it makes no more money for using Hairy Plopper than they would for using Wally and the Beav.

Mark my words: Rowling's going nuts with "fame".
