She should have sued and saved us all from that fuckery. Ugh.

[(Anonymous)]

That wouldn't have helped. Streisand effect and all.

Uh... no, it would've just created new fuckery. IP lawsuits in general are hard to fight (I know a couple of IP attorneys), and you betcha the media would be on that in a minute. It would be hard for her to get a lawsuit across since what's most commonly protected is prose, and it's very, very difficult to fight on elements, characters (when renamed and changed to be OOC for the original fandom; granted, Ana/Bella are pretty close, but they're so vague as characters, it'd still be hard to fight).

Other people have mentioned Meyers's response, and I have a (completely non-provable) suspicion that when 50 Shades hit big and the connection with Twilight came out, that she consulted with an IP attorney. Because if I were her, and I'd been told what any decent IP attorney would have (that it would be very difficult to fight, very expensive, and the chance of winning puts you at a high chance of losing lots of money and your suit), I'd have done the same damn thing -- be magnanimous and gracious about it.

OTOH, a Stephanie Meyer/EL James legal cage match would be kinda awesome for the lulz, so I'm kinda sad she didn't sue.
