"RDR & Steve Vander Ark: Plagiarism's version of Whack-A-Mole"

So... RDR books announced their intention to appeal the judge's ruling in the Lexicon case, but then changed their minds and announced that instead they're going to release a different version of the Lexicon, revised to make it legal, in January. (The problem, according to SVA, was that the law about copy-pasting uncredited chunks of text written by other people was unclear before, but now that we know it's hunky-dory! Okay, so I might be paraphrasing.) Anyway, the comments to date are a riot.
