Ok i don't know why everyone is stressing out over this..
Let's say the "Wyrd" sisters have an international copyright.. and that would mean that no other band could use that name or anything like that without the chance of being sued.
BUT
The band in harry potter is the "Weird" sisters.. no matter what, this stupid canadian band can't say that no one can change the spelling of a word (and in this case, correct the spelling) and use it..
There copyright (which i doubt is international, especially since like no one has heard of them.. and i'm from the U.S. right below these retards and i haven't..) would only cover the "Wyrd Sisters" any other variation would be totally acceptable.. and if they wanted to sue someone they shouldn't sue WB.. all they are doing is making a movie.. they didn't give the band the name.. they didn't write the books.. J.K. did.. (not that i think she should be sued.. because i think she's one of the most talented writers ever) and also this legal suit should have been done ages ago when the band was mentioned for the first time.. and i'm not sure which book that was, cause J.K. makes so many small references to things..
But the point of this is..
the "Wyrd Sisters" suck.. and anything dealing with Harry Potter is awesome.. and they should have played off of that.. maybe they'd have even gotten a bid to be the band in the movie.. but no they are douche bags..
