PERCHE' NON PUBBLICHIAMO FANFICTION
SUI VAMPIRI "DI" ANNE RICE
Prima di tutto perchè
IO non amo che si parli di me a sproposito.
La mia vita è già abbastanza
interessante senza che ci sia il bisogno
di arricchirla con le idee altrui.
In secondo luogo perché
la proprietaria dei diritti, Anne Rice
(e qui sarebbe troppo lungo spiegare perché
LEI è la proprietaria), affronta
battaglie legali quitidiane con i siti
che utilizzano i "SUOI" personaggi.
Eccovi un esempio...

"The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice
We
represent Anne Rice, the author of the
above series of novels and the creator
of all characters contained therein, including,
without limitation, Lestat, Louis, Claudia,
Marius, Armand, Pandora, Mael, Maharet
and Khayman (collectively, the "Property"),
and the owner of all copyrights thereto.
As the copyright owner, Ms. Rice has the
exclusive right to use such characters
in literary material. It has come to our
attention that your website fanfiction.net
makes available over the Internet numerous
stories and other literary material which
contain the above-listed characters and
other material from the Property. Even
when done on a nonprofit and/or amateur
basis, such use of such characters and
material without Ms. Rice's permission
constitutes copyright infringement. While
Ms. Rice greatly appreciates the interest
of her fans in her characters and material,
it is her and our responsibility to make
sure that her rights are not infringed.
Accordingly, we must insist that fanfiction.net
immediately refrain from making available
over the Internet or otherwise any work
based on any element of the Property,
including, without limitation, the above-listed
characters. It is essential that you confirm
immediately by e-mail that fanfiction.net
has complied with the foregoing. If we
do not receive the foregoing reassurance
from you by the close of business on Monday,
May 21, 2001, we will have no choice but
to advise fanfiction.net's Internet server
of this matter, and to ask such server
to take appropriate action. The foregoing
is stated without prejudice to the rights
and remedies of Ms. Rice and her publisher,
Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., all of which are
hereby expressly reserved. Very truly
yours, Kleinberg Lopez Lange Brisbin &
Cuddy LLP.
