CDN court gags people who previewed new Potter novel

Michael sez, "a British Columbia court has issued a remarkably broad order that compels people who purchased advance copies of the new Harry Potter book to return them immediately and forbids any discussion of the contents."

People have legitimately purchased the book, yet now face violation of a court order if they fail to return it immediately, discuss it, or do anything else with the book.
