*goes off to send hate mail to Wyrd Sisters*

theyd still release it, no one gives a shit about the band.

I understand that the band is gonna lose. But is there any proof that the band really is as old as it says it is? for all we know they could have read the book, made the band figuring that as soon as they started to make Goblet of Fire, they would sue

true...but they really stand no chance either way

ok, do you know how many fans would kill if that happened?...including me

a lot

exactly!...and ya

Yeah....It certainly would cause lots of .....uproar....

They can't do that!!!! *tears*

It's NOT going to happen because bitterness and jealousy don't make a case. Nor greed. Everything but talent....which should explain things. The fact that even before the film release they are crying about how they're never going to be able to "get their band off the ground again" [remember the film hasn't even been released yet, lol] is testament to their lameness. Like if they say they've been "building their reputation for 15 years"...shouldn't they be just slightly off the ground already? I'm a proud Canadian, and feeling embarrassed by their now-famed whining and snivelling, and blaming of their anticipated ruination on someone else. I'm sure we all know that the real reason for the failures of their life is not WB, but their bad attitude and negativity. I mean if any one of us were lucky enough to get our names associated with the legendary Harry Potter....wow...we'd probably fly with it!

In fact I'm feeling a little sorry for WS, cuz they're going to regret their behavior forever---it will only invalidate their music. Who's ever going to take them seriously now? People like that are their own worst enemy. Life must be hard for them.

well whose fault is that for being so lame in sueing warner brothers? it is their fault if their career goes down the drain for something they did.

Their career can't go possibly go down the drain--they never had one, let alone one worth 40 mill. It's pretty much a lost cause when people in the next town have never even heard of you. So that's why I don't wish them worse than they already have. On the other hand...I wish somebody would sue Warner Bros, for a legit reason rather than a personal agenda which is merely disruptive and wastes everyone's time. They are a bunch of sc**bags, but too rich to be beaten in court. The only way to fight back is to boycott them and their merchandise....*after* watching the Harry Potter film of course. (I couldn't punish myself by missing it). As badly as I wanted to, I haven't bought a single DVD, and it just about killed me not to buy the games. But I suppose I can always pirate them. Normally I would say no company deserves that, but I'd have to make an exception here. I wish Jo Rowling would stand up to them.

In fact it might even boost their popularity

Copyright laws, to me knowledge though, don't cross international bounderies. The book is in England, the movie wasn't made in Canada, as as far as I know "Wyrd Sisters" isn't a registered trademark anywhere. I mean a film made in the US that has a coffeeshop called The Coffee grind in it wouldn't be at risk from being sued if it came to Australia by some coffee shop here with the same name, that's not how it works.

If this has a logical conclusion the band wont have a case.

that's what i've been saying...no case...and no it wouldn't give them much popularity.

Well it could.....There are crazy people out there....All the band would have to do is say they are the weird sisters from harry potter and that boosts their popularity already

yea, and Michael Jackson's popularity was boosted by the molestations that he allegedly done, and OJ Simpson and his alleged murders.

wow things r firin up here....

yep they are
