Warner Bros. is taking legal action against Bollywood. This time it isn’t just because they don’t like non-Hollywood movies but instead this time they do have a good reason. A new Bollywood movie is taking an extremely similar name to a giant cash cow of Warner’s. The movie “Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Terrors” is said by Warner Bros to be infringing on the Harry Potter copyright.

As you read this Warner Bros would have already presented their case to the Bombay High Court today. Considering just how long court cases take to process they must have had advanced warning about this months ago. The films story is said to be about a 10-year-old Indian boy who moves to the UK.

So not about a magical wizard boy then but the name is proving to be a serious concern. We will soon know if the makers will be forced to change the name as the movie is scheduled for a cinema release in some regions on September 12th.

Rockstar Games, famous for juggling controversy and bans has just received yet another ban to its name. This time it’s Brazil, who have banned Bully. While the game escapes with an easy T rating from the ESRB, the Brazilian judge responsible for the banning claims that it is far too violent for children and teenagers, especially considering it is set in and all about a school.

As of this writing, Rockstar was unavailable for comment (their spokesman supposedly didn’t know of the ban)

There you go. After weeks of bitter fighting to get its beloved Manhunt 2 unbanned from the United Kingdom, Rocksar got its Bully banned in Brazil. Wonderful.
