The final wyrd
An attention seeking Winnepeg folk-act owing an unacknowledged debt to Hamlet (or more likely Terry Pratchett) have had their laughable case against J.K. Rowling and Warner thrown out of court. So much for their quest for an injunction, 40-million dollars or a film credit. May they once again lapse into the obscurity they have earned.
Although there is no mention of a Wyrd Sisters band in the film, the J.K. Rowling novel on which it is based refers to a group of hairy witches dubbed The Weird Sisters.
"I am not satisfied that the fact of three musicians appearing in the film will operate as a deception to the public such as to affect the goodwill that the plaintiffs may have in the term, 'The Wyrd Sister,'" Justice Colin Campbell said. "Neither am I satisfied that the six-second inclusion of the scene in question will cause irreparable harm."
