- noxer 5y agoI could copy a whole sentence from the book and it would not matter at all. Or even 5 lines like the parent post said. >....you'd be in bad water already. Not true either, writing my message in harry potter font would do absolutely nothing. the internet is full of images which use these or similar looking fonts. Its called fan art or whatever, copyright laws are not applicable to this.
