Should Slimani perhaps donate even a small part of her profits to the Lulu and Leo Fund, the foundation the Krims set up to help other families and to honor the memory of their slain children?"<br /><br />a public donation might open up the author to a lawsuit for defamation or invasion of privacy. intellectual property law is tricky. that's why there's the usual disclaimer in fiction, "a disclaimer: “This is a work of fiction. All characters and incidents are products of the author’s imagination and any resemblance to actual people or events is coincidental or fictionalized.” The closer the author identifies to the real people or events (such as a public donation to the Krims), the more danger of a suit.<br /><br />otherwise, the Post article seems like an instance of professional jealousy or virtue signaling, in other words, a catfight.Jack Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873320680596889057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-16878292912046699862018-01-15T07:07:58.988-08:002018-01-15T07:07:58.988-08:00Truman Capote, call your office.Truman Capote, call your office.trigger warninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310637474428322994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-47098439313161806492018-01-15T04:59:05.353-08:002018-01-15T04:59:05.353-08:00Undertakers, they're the worstUndertakers, they're the worstMark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.com
