I couldn't resist sharing this with you: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/10/opinion/10potter.html?ex=1344484800&en=f3ee206613b091ec&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.

The article's called "Memo to the Dept. of Magical Copyright Enforcement" (NY Times, August 10 2007).

oh my god. Why am I not surprised? The infamous shock jock Howard Stern was being imitated word for word by a chinese on air personality. Stern was upset and is looking for a legal remedy.

Oh my God, that's horrible and funny! GANDALF? Gandalf is in one of them? Why not the Wizard of Chinese Oz?

The Chinese have made the word copycat a national symbol.
