I'd hire an intellectual property rights lawyer. :D

Unless it were for a fanwork -- in that case, I'd call out the plagiarist and sit back with a bag of popcorn.

I'm cringing at the legal issues of publishing fanfic. It's an old argument that's created lots of wanky debates.

Well, I work with an Intellectual Property attorney who had NEVER heard about fanfic. He's also a great big fanboy and when I told him about it, he was AMAZED. LOL - I guess nothing like it had never come across his desk.

That kinda proves that fanfic isn't as much of an actionable offense as other IP violations.

Although Diana Gabaldon wanked about it...
