Albatros sues school boys who published Czech version of new Harry Potter
book

The Prague-based publishing house Albatros, which publishes Czech
translations of Harry Potter books has taken legal action against a group of
schoolboys who posted a Czech translation of the bestseller's latest edition
on a private web site. Only two weeks after the English version was
released, the boys translated about one-half of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter
and the Order of the Phoenix. The official Czech translation, prepared by
Albatros, is not due to be released before next February. According to
Albatros programme director Ondrej Muller, the Internet version violated
copyright law.
