Well, yeah, fandom isn't into profit, so this is distasteful from that side of things, but that's fandom morality, nothing to do with legal stuff. If he'd tried to publish an HP fanfiction novel, which would at least, by fandom standards, have "original content", he'd be in serious hot water I'd presume, so it's hard to really transfer fandom morality into the real world. I agree with you, I wouldn't have tried to publish it personally, but now that it's in action...well I'm coming at this from the mock crying on the stand perspective, that might be colouring my view. :/
