Michael Geist - Court Orders Harry Potter Purchasers to Return Book

Court Orders Harry Potter Purchasers to Return Book
A British Columbia court has ordered purchasers of the new Harry Potter book to return it immediately and forbid anyone from discussing any elements contained in the book itself. The latest instalment of Harry Potter apparently goes on sale on Saturday but at least one BC bookseller began selling it in advance. The publisher wasn't particularly pleased and obtained a court order stopping the bookseller (or any bookseller) from selling the book until the official release date.

Update: I've posted a further update on this story that seeks to address the misconception that the case involves stolen versions of the book.
