Today the Judge for the copyright infringement case against Dan Brown and his book “The Da Vinci Code” is supposed to give his ruling today. If the verdict goes indeed go against Brown, then not only will it cost the man a TON of money… but it also has the possibility of holding up the release of the Da Vinci Code movie.
There is a lot of grey in this whole thing. If Brown and his publishers win… everything goes on as planned and it’s business as usual. The the authors of “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” win, then it could be an entirely different story. Or not. It’s unclear as to what the full legal ramifications will be.
We’ll just have to sit and wait for the verdict, and then see how the house of cards starts to fall.
***UPDATE***
The decision came in. The court found in favor of the defendant Dan Brown and his publishing company
