no, i doubt just Canada. If the Wyrd sisters wanted to they would try to make it global. cause it will show up in all of the movies across the country. But The Wyrd sisters will lose this suit. they don't have a case. ((i know, cause i kind of study law on my spare time))

they honestly have nothing. WB's claimed in the article that they aren't using the name at all. 20% of it they are going after the group that is playing in the movie. but like they said, they have no case.

I agree fully. They've got nothing. And even if they do (which they don't) the WB would give them some money to shut them up.

it's coming out. THEY HAVE NOTHING AT ALL AGAINST WARNER BROTHERS AND IT WILL NOT STOP HARRY POTTER FROM COMING OUT. THEY HAD A MEETING IN JUNE, AND IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS. HARRY POTTER IS COMING OUT AS EXPECTED...IF NOT...THEN I DO NOT DESERVE TO STUDY LAW...ok, sorry just had to make that point. as the D.A. would say...the people rest.

it's like when someone in the states tried to sue lord of the rings because of the insensitivity of the name "the two towers"
