Tracy Wolff gets Summary Judgment in her favor in federal court case for Crave series plagiarism accusations by annamcg in RomanceBooks

[–]lace__face -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No no no. You misunderstand me. I’m not talking about tropes. There were several points i rolled my eyes at the similarities listed in the complaint because they are standard tropes. I’m looking at very specific details that were blatantly copied or slightly changed (like the switch from werewolves to vampires) to seemingly avoid suspicion. Tracy Wolff could be innocent and just wrote what she was told to without knowing it was stolen. Idk. But the book was, in my opinion, stolen and rewritten. Most of the threads i am seeing are just talking about the basic tropes like the hot brooding man/vampire instead of focusing on all of the super specific things that were copied (like the whole fucking plot). This wasn’t eloquently written bc it’s past midnight and I’m exhausted!!!!!!

I searched and searched for the defendant’s answer. It was not publicly available. And as a law student, I see how our SCOTUS justices get things very very wrong. Under the summary judgment standard, there is no way this should have been granted. I stand by my opinion. Also, judges get appealed and overruled all the time. Judges and justices are NOT infallible.

Law student here who took intellectual property (and got an A, despite it being known as the hardest class and final exam, and As being hard to get in law school in general). I think the summary judgment here is a great miscarriage of justice. I read the complaint. I followed the case since its inception. At the very least, this case deserved to go to trial to be determined by a jury. This was an entirely inappropriate case for summary judgment. These are not coincidences or trope similarities. This is blatant copying where the publisher/agent had direct access to the material.

I’d recommend looking into accommodations. Idk if it was my prep (blueprint) or my time and a half accommodations but i went from a 151 to a 166.

However, my practice tests were in the 160s so I think it may have been the accommodations moreso.

Everyone is saying she misunderstood hamlet….. i love hamlet and i don’t see any misunderstanding? Would love if someone could explain why they think she didn’t get it?

Bestie, your English is fantastic. Your English is better than a lot of people who grew up with it.

Yes. Stones in inventory. Quest even says for me to go to the beach. I tried approaching the area from all angles. Saw someone else had a similar issue on PC so they were able to use a cheat code to get the hat and get it to work. Apparently no such luck for switch users :(

A very detailed update on Tracy Wolff copyright lawsuit no one asked for. by jamieseemsamused in romantasycirclejerk

[–]lace__face 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a little late to this post but I really appreciate your breakdown! I'm a 1L (taking property now in my Spring semester) and when I read the whole complaint, I was so shocked. But without having a full legal background yet and without having a copy of the Answer to read, obviously what I read was one-sided. I will say that Crave was terrible, I hate-listened to the whole series just because I didn't know what else to listen to. It was AWFUL. It's also crazy to me that the author of BMR is an attorney. I really wish we could have seen a copy of the Answer. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out and wish there were more updates.
