the harry potter lexicon is one case where the encyclopedia-like website about everything in the harry potter series moved towards publishing and commercializing the lexicon as a supplementary and complementary source of information to the series. rowling and her publishers levied a lawsuit against the website creator, steven vander ark, and the publishing company, rdr books, for a breach of copyright. while the lawsuit did conclude in vander ark's favor, the main issue in contention was the majority of the lexicon copied a majority of the series' material and does not transform enough of the material to be held separately from the series itself.
