UPDATE: Harry Potter Is A Leaking
July 18th, 2007Yesterday, I headlined a post about TorrentFreak linking to a copy of Harry Potter’s book. Today, TorrentFreak is underattack by Ms. Rowling’s bloodthirsty lawyers. Here is the main body of text that pertains to the matter.
update: A few minutes ago we received an anonymous e-mail from a “Harry Potter” fan who threatened to take down TorrentFreak if we didn’t remove our article about the leak of of “Deathly Hallows” (apparently afraid of spoilers, feel free to laugh).
He claims (with an army of Potter fanboys) to be responsible for the “attack” on our servers. Of course we don’t negotiate with terrorists! Besides that, I doubt that he’s really behind it.
update: On a sidenote, J.K. Rowling’s lawyers asked us to take down our Harry Potter leak article. Pretty strange because it is just a news post mainstream media like The New York Times, CNET, The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal also posted articles about the leak after we broke the news.
I will keep you filled in as more details emerge.
