(With "Harry Potter", I of course meant the wizard described in the
books by JKR as a parallel to the language described in the spec by Sun/Oracle)
> Harry Potter is a special case, actually, since the author and Time-Warner
are so into protecting it
Sure, and when you have enough money/lawyers then some arguments might be easier
to make. But my question was if they could use copyright law or they would have
to resort to trademark law.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The original question was:
Would copyright law prevent me from
using the character "Harry Potter" in a completely new story?
The
question wasn't surrounding the likelihood of whether or not the copyright owner
would enforce the copyright. That's a different question altogether... and
would be where that special case you mention would exist.
