Copyright infringement question

[Tonks]

When Warner Brothers bought the rights from Rowling, I think that 
they bought the rights to trademark everything. And if I understand 
correctly a trademark is stronger than a copyright. I tried to find 
the page where I read about WB and the trademarks for the movies a 
couple of years before anyone knew the names of the books. I 
couldn't find it again, of course! But I found this. And I read that 
a title of a book is not copyrighted or trademarked but the contents 
can be copyrighted.

This is an interesting link about WB and an E-bay seller. I too had 
a problem with WB when selling items on E-bay. In fact, I lost my 
account there and later got it back 2 years later. But now I am so 
scared of them I don’t sell anything on E-bay anymore. What did I do 
to get in so much trouble? I tried to sell 2 items in one auction. 
One was a Harry Potter item and one was not. WB told me that I can 
not sell a HP item with a non-HP item. I also learned from the WB 
lawyers that one can not say “your Harry Potter fan would love 
this”. I told them that gives new meaning to the term “he who must 
not be named”. I remember going to a HP convention in Ottawa Canada 
(Convention Alley) and they were told they could not say or have 
banners that said “Happy Birthday Harry Potter”. They could only 
say “Happy Birthday Harry”. Also I consulted with an attorney once 
and she told me that WB can do whatever they want to whoever they 
want because they have the power and the money and the rest of us do 
not.  ;-(
