Harry Potter book stolen, posted on internet

The theives have struck again. Notice how the post describes the publishers as "bloodthirsty" for wanting to maintain the integrity of their product. This is a sad day for authors everywhere, as the internet anarchists continue to do everything in their power to undermine copyright laws.

Affect on sales: close to nil. It is difficult to read entire books on a screen. Irregardless of the availability of this illegal online version, I'll still buy the bound book itself.

How much longer do you think you will do this? I've already quit buying the paper. I get all my news online now.

 

Reading the news online is different to a book.

For me at least. I like to lie on my bed and read a book, relaxing. I need a physical object to hold that isn't shining light in my eyes if I'm reading for a long time. For enjoyment anyway.

There was some Harry Potter fan convention at Edinburgh Castle today. Hordes of gimps dressed in 'Hogwarts' uniforms strolled up the hill. Some went further and went for full costumes and make-up. It was hilarious. I wish I'd had some spliff and some time to watch them. The worrying thing was I saw very few children. The two I saw before I went elsewhere looked utterly pissed off that they were being dragged to this event. They'd been dressed up for the occasion, the little boy in his checked shirt and chinos.

 

I don't care all that much for the conservation nuts because they have gone way too far in certain areas, but it's nice not to have to have hundreds of dollars worth of hardware and three hundred watts of electricity to read a book.

 

It pretty sad that Harry Potter book are this popular when there are so many better reading material out there. Not to say they are bad (they're pretty good read actually) but it just a little funny how this series almost single-handedly got younger people back into reading. Damn I sound like an old fart saying that somehow and I'm only 30... doh. *sigh*

 

Then you're killing the news business.

 

They have their paper on line as well.

I like to think of it as saving trees.

 

phonetic:

I want to get there first, get the book, then as people are waiting in line, start reading out a list of casualties.

"RON WEASLEY DIES ON PAGE 315!"

 

lmao, oh yes

"DUMBLEDORE DIES!" was going through my head as I saw them file past.

 

whoah, that sucks. I accidently read some, i couldnt help it! :bawl: :bawl:

cant wait for the book though

 

I know. But seriously, reading papers online is killing my business, and when it goes so too does the content...

 

What is your business?

I wonder what makes torrentfreak so sure they have the right one.

 

QFT.

 

i know it was wrong but, she wants the shops to charge £17.99 for her book that is a paper back version by the way, she is ripping children of so they will get the book any way they can, it is just her own fault, ASDA wanted to charge £8.99 for a paper back version of the book because they didnt want to rip children of, so they will nto be allowed to sell it!! the moral of this story is DONT GET GREEDY!!!

 

i agree with the theft. it was a classic robin hood moment. they stole from the rich to give to the poor.

well done.

peace.

 

Why pay for overpriced bullshit when you can get it for free?
