Lynn:

Well, I suppose the court could have issued a gag
order but that's usually specific - such as the
attorneys and principals can't discuss something
but the media can still go wild.

I'm assuming that the injunction is regarding the
reprinting or, in this case, replaying the
recording, without the expressed permission of
Scholastic, Bloomsbury or JKR.  It wouldn't cover
any discussion about anything that's been leaked
as long as there aren't any quotes of the
material.
