Elva Ruby Miller (née Connes; October 5, 1907 – July 5, 1997), who recorded under the name "Mrs. Miller", was an American singer who gained some fame in the 1960s for her series of shrill and off-key renditions of popular songs such as "Moon River", "Monday, Monday", "A Lover's Concerto", and "Downtown".
 Singing in an untrained, Mermanesque, vibrato-laden style, according to Irving Wallace, David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace in "The Book of Lists 2," Miller's voice was compared to the sound of "roaches scurrying across a trash can lid." Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. v. RDR Books
Warner Bros.
 Entertainment, Inc. and J. K. Rowling v. RDR Books, 575 F.Supp.2d 513 (SDNY 2008) is a copyright lawsuit brought on 31 October 2007 by the media company Warner Bros. and "Harry Potter" author J. K. Rowling against RDR Books, an independent publishing company based in Muskegon, Michigan.
 Lawyers for Rowling and Time Warner argued that RDR's attempt to publish for profit a print facsimile of "The Harry Potter Lexicon", a free online guide to the "Harry Potter" fictional universe, constituted an infringement of their copyright and was not protected by the affirmative defense of fair use.
 The trial was held from 14–17 April 2008 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
 In September 2008, the court ruled in Rowling's favor, and publication of the book was blocked.
 In 2009, RDR Books released an edited volume, eliminating the problematic long quotes found to be infringing.
