eBay Refutes Reports of 'Harry Potter' Injunction

The Times Online reported on Monday that the author of Harry Potter books had obtained an injunction in India that prohibited eBay from listing illegal copies of her work. eBay refuted those claims on Wednesday and characterized news reports about the injunction as "mis-reporting in the media world."
eBay spokesperson Catherine England said the case began in 2004 against Baazee.com, and when eBay came in (it purchased the site and rebranded it), the court found that eBay had fulfilled all its legal obligations and denied the publisher's request for an injunction against eBay. The injunctions, she said, were against eBay sellers who had been listing Harry Potter ebooks.
According to a press release issued by eBay India yesterday, "the Delhi High Court affirmed the 2004 injunction against the 4 offending sellers who had been selling ebooks" in January.
