Ah yes, Steve. I remember the thread now. It's been a while. F.M. did in fact win and the culprit was Kagero. I am surprised he got a lawyer to handle it, so I am assuming it was a strongly worded letter to the publisher that was quickly settled without protracted negotiations or the involvement of the courts. Attorneys do not like plagiarism cases because they rarely are won and when they are the award is usually not large enough to pay the plaintiff and attorney an acceptable sum, unless the book sold in millions of copies, that is. Anyway, two thumbs up for F.M. He was very courageous to go after the defendant and win a victory for all non-fiction authors.
