So there might be some merit to the comments on plagarism. Maybe they should have settled out of court, this lady does have some real complaints. That said, I still love the books, nomatter where muggles or the name Potter came from. I didn't get into the books until I needed something small to read during play practices, and then I was hooked.
I also love people who hold it against atrists/musicians/writers for making money. God forbid they should be able to live off their talent. And no, Harry potter isn't full of amazing revelations about the human soul, nor is it meant to. It also doesn't teach ultra sappy life lessons that seem forced. It's just good fun. Think of art for art's sake. If you want muzak in print, look for Goosebumps or any other series with 20,000 books. Seven books is nothing.
I don't know which is worse, not being able to copy cds, a relatively new problem, and the fact that people are willing to pay 19 dollars or more for any cd. SUPPORT YOUR HOME GROWN STORES!!! There's a place down the road from campus here with just about anything you want for cheap, and if they don't have it, they'll actually offer to order it for you instead of going over to where you just looked and saying "Nope, we don't have it." If not a local store, at least go for best buy or target, where most cds are are around 13 bucks.
Tick: We need a battle cry, Arthur.
Arthur: How about "Not in the face! Not in the face!"
Tick: No, that lacks a certain, "We're here to defeat you, evildoer"...

...worth far more than the $19 price of the CD.
