Des membres de Radiohead et Pulp s'associent
C’est confirmé : Jarvis Cocker, leader de Pulp (et de Relaxed Muscle, à ses heures perdues), Phil Selway et Jonny Greenwood, membres de Radiohead, vont se retrouver dans le même supergroupe à l’occasion du film Harry Potter et la coupe de feu, qui sort dans nos salles obscures le 30 novembre. Récupérant les rôles déclinés par Franz Ferdinand pour cause de tournées intensives, ils deviennent ainsi les membres d’une formation magique nommée Weird Sisters. (13 sept. 2005)

--- Citer ---Manitoba folk group tries to block Harry Potter film in trademark dispute
STEVE LAMBERT
WINNIPEG (CP) - A Winnipeg-based folk group called The Wyrd Sisters is asking an Ontario court to block the distribution of the upcoming Harry Potter movie across Canada.
The group is also suing Warner Brothers and three famous British musicians over a scene in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire that allegedly depicts a band called The Wyrd Sisters playing on a stage. "The name of the band is threatened by Warner Brothers actions," Kimberly Townley-Smith, lawyer for The Wyrd Sisters, said Monday.
"If everybody knows Harry Potter's Wyrd Sisters, we can't go out and find new fans because people are going to see us and go, well who are you? Some people are going to think we're ripping them off."
Townley-Smith has filed a statement of claim seeking $40 million plus punitive damages from three divisions of the Warner Brothers empire, singer Jarvis Cocker of the British band Pulp, and Johnny Greenwood and Phil Selway of Radiohead.
Townley-Smith said she plans to file more documents this week, asking for a court injunction against any public display of the movie in Canada.
The statement of claim contains allegations that have not been proven in court, and neither Warner Brothers nor the musicians involved have filed statements of defence.
The Canadian music magazine Chart reported that Warner Brothers issued a written statement in which they say the band in the movie do not have a name, and that they have no intention to use The Wyrd Sisters moniker.
The problem seems to have arisen from the book on which the movie is based, which refers to a fictitious Weird Sisters band.
Townley-Smith's statement of claim alleges the film depicts a Wyrd (with the spelling changed from the book to a include a y) Sisters band in a "involved, spectacular and memorable" performance which, because of the mass appeal of the film, will usurp the Canadian band's identity.
News of the litigation has led to outrage on the Internet.
Radiohead fans by the dozens have posted messages on the British group's fan site, accusing the Winnipeg group of trying to grab attention and cash.
"They just want their 15 minutes of fame," reads one message.
Some Radiohead fans have also posted more strongly worded messages on the Winnipeg group's website, prompting a plea from the folk band.
"This band has been our child. We gave birth to her, gave her a name and made many sacrifices to prepare her for the world out there," reads a message posted by band members.
"Now some multibillion dollar corporation comes along and takes away her name and dignity."
Townley-Smith said Warner Brothers first approached the band months ago and offered $5,000 for the use of the name.
