Warner Bros. Upset About Harry Popper Condoms
from the for-your-magic-wand dept
Warner Bros. has certainly been aggressive over the years in lawyering up any time anyone does anything that appears to be Harry Potter related. For example, you might remember when the studio sued to stop a Bollywood movie called Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors, which sounded like an Indian version of Home Alone more than an attempt to copy JK Rowling's creation. Warner Bros. failed to win that case, but now it's taking on one that might have a bit more life.Apparently, the company is quite upset and pulling out the legal guns against a condom maker who is offering "Harry Popper" condoms in Switzerland. While you could have a strong "moron in a hurry" argument that there's no likelihood of confusion here, the condom company's decision to anthropomorphize the condom with round glasses and waving a magic wand in its "hand" probably doesn't help its cause:
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Now I know what condom I find that in. LOL
Didn't know that existed but I still can't see how anyone could confuse a package of condoms with a Harry Potter book or movie. :)

Of course you have the star, Hairy Putter, his best friend Don Sleazy, and their female friend Myheinie Groper. The staff, Smalldus Dumbledork, Shagrid, Serious longsnake, etc. The villain Lord Baldiedork. And Hairy's nemesis, Paco Mouthboy.
It'll be an epic series!
