Copyright after Purchase

He is removing JK Rowling's name off the books and reselling them. What is legal and illegal when it comes to copyright pertains to the story not the book itself. If one wanted to make sure their name or any other design of the book remained as published it may come to trademark rather than copyright. My bet would be on the publisher who spent thousands of dollars designing the cover. JK Rowling's stories inside the book are protected by her copyright. She may not be able to win a court case for the destruction and reselling of the the book but I'm betting her publisher would. This is not a person doing what he wants with the books after legal purchase but he's reselling for a profit after redesigning them. Basically he's become her publisher without publishing rights. I'm going to bet he's in legal hell when this reaches court, provided she sues.
