Hm, ein Fan kann das aber nicht sein. Sonst würde er "Der Musterschüler" in der Hand halten. :mrgreen:
Ich weiß, das gibt es nicht als Buch. Aber das würde eher passen.

Hier kann man die deutsche Übersetzung von SK´s The Daily Beast Artikel lesen:

´Stephen King ist außer sich. Denn er ist der Meinung, dass er als reicher Mann zu wenig Steuern zahlen muss. Das schert in den USA aber offensichtlich niemanden. Seine Wut darüber hat den Bestseller-Autor nun zu einer Streitprosa inspiriert, die es in sich hat.´

Mal wieder Plagiatsvorwürfe gegen Stephen King.
Diesesmal geht es um DUMA KEY.
Der Schriftsteller der gegen SK gerichtlich vorgehen will ist Rod Marquardt.

Der Zeitungsbericht:

Spoiler

Rod Marquardt realized a professional dream when his thriller novel “Keller’s Den” was published in 2002. When his publisher, Publish America, informed him that the famed horror novelist Stephen King had expressed interest in reviewing books by Publish America, including “Keller’s Den”, Marquardt was in disbelief. That disbelief evolved into shock and confusion when King’s 2008 best-selling novel “Duma Key” was released with an eerily similar plot.

“After reading Duma Key, I came to the conclusion there were too many atypical similarities to consider the content in both novels as being coincidental,” Marquardt said.

Marquardt sued King in 2010 on the grounds of copyright infringement stating that King used Marquardt’s story in “Keller’s Den” to spin his own tale. Marquardt amassed a list totaling 35 pages detailing each incident of similarity between the two books.

“Both novels use an ancient evil force that provides the main character the ability to paint extremely well, an older woman living next door to the main character played in integral part of the plot in both stories and each story had a family member of the main character die in the exact same way and both came back as a ghost” argued Marquardt.

Almost as soon as Marquardt had brought the claims against King, the Northern Georgia district court judge presiding over the case dismissed it on the grounds of a lack of “substantial similarity”. Marquardt argues that facts of his case may have been viewed as less important than the name of the accused, as the case was dismissed before it reached the discovery and summary judgment process.

“I understood my chance of winning this case was the same as David beating Goliath, but David won. While I don’t consider myself to be David, I did, and still do, feel my argument warranted it’s time in court and should have been allowed to be heard before being so hastily dismissed,” Marquardt said.

Marquardt questions if his case can be included as an example of preferred treatment for celebrities. He explains on his website that he had to submit several corrections due to incorrect statements made by the defense and questions why only one third of his 35 pages of similarities were listed in the original complaint. Marquardt also wonders whether his judge was selected because of her knowledge of copyright law or because of a random choice or preferment.

“With everything already lining up against me, I didn’t give myself the best chance to win either,” said Marquardt. “I picked a lawyer who missed two filing deadlines and I did not research the outcomes of similar cases that were heard at the same venue.”

Marquardt makes clear on his website that he never attempted to disrespect or discredit the best-selling author. He even goes as far to applaud King for his illustrious and longstanding career.

“It is hard for me to say anything negative about Stephen King without making an effort to shed a positive light on his behalf,” said Marquardt. “However, nobody is exempt from walking too close to the edge on occasion and sometimes temptation is too powerful to resist.”

About Rod Marquardt: Rod Marquardt had already won multiple academic awards for writing by the time he decided to take his writing more seriously while attending South Dakota State University. It was at this time that Marquardt started writing what would eventually become his first novel “Keller’s Den”, published in 2002. He credits his writing ability to the numerous authors in his ancestry including Louisa May Alcott, Geoffrey Chaucer and Truman Capote. Marquardt currently resides in South Carolina following in his father’s footsteps working in the wholesale food industry. He is eagerly finishing his second novel and expects the novel to be published soon. For more information about Rod Marquardt or his books visit http://www.rodmarquardt.com.

...Weighing boy wizzard against high school teen, Stephen King observes that:"Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend" (King)

Da wird wolf hier und jetzt die Bahnhofskioske in den Provinznestern Hagen und Iserlohn checken müssen, ansonsten muss ich mich anderweitig umsehen, oder Leute aus grösseren Städten befragen.

Wie ist das eigentlich? Gibt es das Ganze regulär in Deutschland oder mal wieder so wie das Esquire nur bei ausgewählten Händlern?
