Harry Potter sues eBay over pirated books, court orders eBay to police auctions
Quote:In fiction his enemies are evil wizards and magical beasts, but Harry Potter’s latest adversary is a real corporation with a turnover of more than £2 billion.

J. K. Rowling, Harry’s creator, is suing the online auction hosting service eBay after unscrupulous sellers used the Indian version of the website to sell unauthorised versions of her books.

Rowling is not the first person to sue the website for breach of copyright, but she has won a unique victory by obtaining an injunction that prohibits eBay from listing illegal copies of her work. The court order is a setback for eBay because it is the first time the company has been obliged to police its sellers’ auctions for copyrighted material...

eBay Accuses Harry Potter of Harassment! eBay calls Harry a Big Fat Liar!
Update:

Quote:With just over six weeks to go for the launch of the seventh book in the Harry Potter series, author J K Rowling is facing charges of causing “humiliation and harassment” to web trade company eBay, formerly Bazee.com Pvt Ltd.

The website has accused Rowling of using the media to spread “misinformation” about an ongoing row between the two in High Court.

In an application filed before Justice A K Sikri, the web trader states, “J K Rowling and her representatives are spreading misinformation about two (High Court) stay orders… The distorted manner in which wide publicity is given in the media — print and electronic — has caused immense harassment and humiliation to eBay and also damaged its goodwill and reputation.”...
