Dave Itzkoff via New York Times Arts Beat Blog; Author Appeals Injunction Against Salinger Sequel:
"Judge Deborah A. Batts of United States District Court in Manhattan ruled that the book was not a protected parody or commentary, and that it infringed on Mr. Salinger’s copyrights.
In court papers filed Thursday with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, lawyers for Mr. Colting wrote that “60 Years Later” is “a complex and undeniably transformative comment on one of our nation’s most famous authors,” adding: “Had this commentary and criticism been published as an essay, a dissertation or an academic article, there is no doubt that it never would have been enjoined.”
The appeals filing can be read in its entirety below:
