Hari Puttar Finale

Don't look so surprised, cherub. Nobody but Warner Bros' lawyers thought this case had a cat in Hell's chance of a favourable outcome. The Delhi High Court has rejected Warner Bros' lawsuit against Mirchi Movies over the title of its Bollywood movie Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors. The judge ruled that Harry Potter audiences were too sophisticated to be confused by any similarity in the name Hari Puttar. The film had not been intended to infringe Warner Bros' copyright in any way. Also, Warner Bros had known about the title since 2005 and should have complained sooner, rather than waiting until the film was about to be released before bringing legal proceedings. Okay BBC, now you can use the title Hairy Putters for your next daft cookery show.
