Scholastic and Infinity Resolve ‘Deathly Hallows’ Suit

-- Publishers Weekly, 12/1/2008 8:02:00 AM

Scholastic, Infinity Resources, Inc. and DeepDiscount.com have resolved a lawsuit filed by the children’s publisher against Infinity last year. Scholastic sued Infinity which operates the DeepDiscount e-tail Web site, when copies of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in Rowling’s series, were shipped to customers ahead of the book’s embargoed July 21 release date.

In a statement, Scholastic said that the suit had been “satisfactorily resolved” and that “Scholastic and Infinity are pleased to put those issues behind them.”
