Finally! The madness ends.

Plagarism Lawsuit Against Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn is DISMISSED!

Little Brown Books Released this statement to Twilight Lexicon:

“The Honorable Otis D. Wright II of the United States District Court has ruled in favor of Stephenie Meyer and Hachette Book Group and has dismissed with prejudice Jordan Scott’s claim of copyright infringement.

In his ruling, Judge Wright stated that the two works have little in common and that the “characters in the two works are vastly different.” The decision admonishes Scott for “the deceptive presentation of the alleged similarities” and notes that she “has twice manipulated aspects of the subject works in order to create the appearance of similarity.”

While an attempt to ride on someone else’s success may not be surprising, it is encouraging that the courts and the public are not so easily misled.

This judgment confirms what we have known all along – Breaking Dawn is a wholly original work by Stephenie Meyer and this was a frivolous lawsuit brought for the purposes of publicizing the plaintiff’s personal publishing aspirations. Hachette Book Group and Stephenie Meyer are pleased to be able to put this case behind us.”

Something good must have come out of all this because that judge and both litigation teams, not mention probly the jury, had to have read BD for "research." I'd bet a Cullen on Team TWI gaining at least 10 new members off that!

Thanx for the info Twifans.com !
