Hari Puttar

No, that's not a misspelling. An Indian (as in the country, not the Native Americans) film company has produced and will soon distribute a film called Hari Puttar. Time-Warner lost their infringement suit against the film in the Indian courts. This ruling, of course, flies in the face of the copyright infringement suit won by Time-Warner and JK Rowling in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York against the publishers of the Harry Potter Lexicon.

Just goes to show the difference between countries in interpretation of copyright....
