- Was a claimant in the Eldred v. Ashcroft Copyright Term Extension Act challenge suit, citing that his novel, Tip of Oz, unremovably used concepts from Ruth Plumly Thompson's The Lost King of Oz, which would have fallen into public domain in 2001 had the act not been passed, the current copyright holders demanding a greater licensing fee than Oz books have historically been grossing, leaving his book unpublishable. It was noted that the copyright holder's current promotion of existing Oz books, including Lost King, available only as a print-on-demand title, has been ineffectual and poorly thought out, particularly when compared with the work of smaller organizations to promote public domain Oz material.
