Joanne Rowling has filed a suit in an Amsterdam court against Russian author Dmitry Yemets accusing him of infringing her copyright in his novel "The Magic Double Bass". Yemets claims that his work is a burlesque parody of Harry Potter, but Rowling and Time Warner are apparently unamused and are seeking to block publication of his book in the Netherlands.
