Judge Bars Publishing of ‘Wind Done Gone’

A federal judge blocked the publication of a novel he said borrows too liberally from “Gone With the Wind” and infringes on the copyright of Margaret Mitchell’s classic.
U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell in Atlanta ruled that Alice Randall’s novel, “The Wind Done Gone,” is essentially a retelling of “Gone With the Wind” from a different point of view using the same fictional characters and places.
