Harry Potter & the $40 million lawsuit

Alright, Harry Potter fans. It appears that a Winnipeg-based folk act called Wyrd Sisters is suing to to block the distribution of the film in Canada. To the tune of 40 million dollars.

The band may have a case. However… if they have a case, then Terry Pratchett stands to sue the fuck out of them for using the title of one of his books. Especially considering they spell it EXACTLY the same.

So, rather than listen to some crappy-ass Celtic music that’s all new-agey and whatnot, go listen to some real Harry Potter tunes. Harry and the Potters base all their tunes on JK Rowling’s books, and they’re committed to good music and getting kids to read. I support both, and you should, as well.
