Pirated Harry Potter Book to be found on the net
So, why am I putting this here? Because the publisher is trying to bully TechCrunch into actually deleting this post. I hate those kind of tactics and am putting it here myself.
Is this for educational value? I don't really care. I hate censorship. They're all bent out of shape because you can find it on The Pirate Bay even though he didn't give a link like I just did. Oh wait, did I do that? Oh no!! I better not tell you that you can probably find it even easier using TorrentScan!!!
So, why is this legal? Because I didn't pirate anything. I'm just reporting it. If I tell you that they're selling drugs down at Main Street and 1st Avenue, I'm not doing anything wrong. If I take you there, I'm STILL not doing anything wrong.
I'm so ticked at lawyers right now I could scream, but these scumbags really starch my shorts! Information is not illegal, people!!! It's what you do with that information that could be illegal.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, the latest and last of the wildly popular Harry Potter books that is due to go on sale this weekend, has hit BitTorrent. Various torrents of the novel consist of photographed pages (as above) with reading quality that isn’t perfect, but for desperate fans readable enough. Whilst the validity of the hype surrounding Harry Potter may be subject to debate, what the leaking of the book does demonstrate is that the days of the mainstream media and publishers strictly controlling the dissemination of information has well and truly past; simply where there is a fan with a will, there is a way.
For educational purposes only, the Harry Potter book can be found by searching The Pirate Bay.
