Every time I see an article on Project Voldemort, I'm surprised that J.K. Rowling hasn't filed a copyright claim on the name.
- DavidBishop 16y agoMaybe to avoid the lawsuits they will call it Project That Must Not Be Named.
- larrik 16y agoI just had my own run in with their legal department, so I would imagine its a matter of time.
- nodata 16y agoWhy though? This has nothing to do with Harry Potter. (Also I don't think copyright would be appropriate here, maybe trade marks? She doesn't have one.)
- dspeyer 16y agoMaybe because it protects data with replication and sharding? But hopefully doesn't provide copies of your data to your enemies by accident.
- ronp 16y agoYes, she (and the publisher) most certainly have trademarks as well as copyrights in the characters. "Famous" trademarks are especially fraught with peril.
