Harry Potter leaks, and I’m super-pissed.
Well, that didn’t take long. The hot story yesterday was the possible leak of the seventh and final Harry Potter book. See this Time Magazine story about the leak. Photos of each page were leaked online in the typical places (torrent tracking sites, usenet, and the like).
This photo was included in the Time article.
Shortly after this leak, some jackass on digg submitted a comment in the form of “character x dies. character y dies. character z lives happily ever after.” Such comments are generally buried/deleted in seconds, but I happened to see it.
I suppose it might be false, and since I don’t know any details, it isn’t really ruined. But I’m still mad.
After this occured, I grabbed a torrent of the leaked images and downloaded a few, just to see how they looked. I was careful not to read anything, but I have to say that they look legit.
I suppose that with all of the thousands of people involved in the production and distribution of these books, it’s damn near impossible to keep things off the internet. I’m not one of those crazy people who avoid the internet for 2 weeks before a book comes out, so I should have expected this. Still, I’ve gotta say: what pricks.
