More on The Wind Done Gone

Salon has a lengthy Story on \”The Wind Done Gone\”, the book that was ruled to infringe on \”Gone With the Wind\”. The argument here boils down to if the book is a parody or an unauthorized, unlicensed (and therefore illegal) sequel. The judge ruled \”The Wind Done Gone\” is simultaneously not enough about \”Gone With the Wind\” and too much like it.
The judge said the \”extensive copying\” in \”The Wind Done Gone\” \”usurps the original\’s right to create its own sequel.\”
