[QUOTE="johnsemlak, post: 679395, member: 7233"] I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I thought this might intereste some people here: #4 Russia sees new Harry Potter parody; copyright-holder does not object MOSCOW. Feb 4 (Interfax) - Russia has seen another parody on the Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling, titled Porry Hatter and the Stone Philosopher. The parody was written by Andrei Zhvanlevsky and Igor Mytko, Belarussian authors of shows broadcast on Russian television, and published by the Vremya publishing house. "As for the second imitation of Harry Potter, this book is a real parody created according to all canons of the parody genre. It deliberately grotesquely describes adventures of Porry Hatter, a negative double of Harry Potter, who finds himself in an unusual magic family," said Natalya Dolgova of the Rosman publishing house, the copyright-holder of the Harry Potter books in Russia. Speaking to Interfax, Dolgova said Rosman does not intend to sue the publishers of the Porry Hatter books, unlike those of Dmitry Yemets's books about Tanya Grotter. "The book about Porry Hatter definitely has the right to exist, unlike Yemets's books, which are not parody but actual plagiarism, which has been confirmed by assessments from independent literatary experts," Dolgova said. The situation surrounding the Eksmo publishing house, the publisher of Yemets's books, "will definitely be developing," Dolgova said. Rosman is currently expecting a decision from London publishers and lawyers, and the probability that the copyright-holders of the Harry Potter books will sue the publisher of the Tanya Grotter books remains high, she said. If the London law firm LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae, L.L.P., which protects the rights of both J. K. Rowling and Warner Brothers, the copyright-holder of the Harry Potter logo, decides to file a suit against the Tanya Grotter publishers, it will appeal to the Russian district court near the Eksmo publishing house.
