Harris seems like quite a silly woman. Quote attributed to her and not commercialised. Objecting like she has created quite the Streisand effect  :D

I wouldn't take anything the Daily Mail spews out seriously. I'd sooner take my news from the dodgy bloke sat in the back of the pub than them.

I'm not the greatest fan of copyright laws but I do think that the right to control the use of things you've written is important.  It's the same right that allows musicians to complain when politicians (Trump is the prime example) use songs without permission to make a political point that the composer probably does not support.

We may think that Joanne Harris is over sensitive but it's really her call.  If it has a rebound effect, that's the risk she takes but I don't question her right to ask for the quote to be removed.  Sounds like the girl in question understood anyway.

I have not read the article in question but just to note that a couple of years ago I attended a talk by a former Daily Mail reporter who explicitly said that in his experience they did not always cross-check their facts and stories in the way that is demanded or customary at many other news outlets.

Maybe this has improved; maybe it hasn't. If not, then regardless of whether you like or dislike the DM's political leanings, surely it's not a good thing.

There's a bigger issue of celebrities with large followings tagging people they don't like in their Tweets, a comedian did it to me once, it was completely out of context and not what I'd intended but then all his sycophantic followers started having a go at me, I just ignored it but realised that a good proportion of his tweets were the same, David Baddiel, I realised, is the same, it's basically a form of bullying that they would be horrified about if they treated similarly, there's no opportunity to come back because any response is lost in fawning retweets and further mislead abuse.
