    Eh, I'm still going to buy it. I just couldn't resist knowing before everyone else. I don't think JK Rowling is exactly starving, with her being richer than the Queen of England and all.

    I don't think that's a decent justification for theft. even if you buy it later.....

    There's speculation that it's a fake leak, like JK Rowling (who is a really prolific writer) did it to throw everyone off, but I doubt it. The style of writing, artwork, etc is pretty consistent with the other books.

    I'm using every bit of willpower NOT to download it...I clicked on a spoiler link a couple weeks back and kicked myself as soon as I did.

    I didn't like what I saw...AT ALL.

    I only read the first thing, and it scared me SO bad that I clicked back before I could read anything else. It sounds stupid, but it makes me sort of scared/nervous to read the book!!

    That's all I'm gonna say!

    Most people who are downloading the book are die hard fans who are definitely going to buy it, too. I only read the last 2 chapters because I can't wait to know what happens. A large portion of the text is illegible.

    The download is not about STEALING the book, follow that logic and lending a book to somone else or reading someone else's copy would be stealing. Most people who download it just CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS

    There's a block on my computer so that I can't download... does anyone know if it's posted someplace? Or if they have scans of the pages somewhere?

    *hides under desk in fear of spoilers* I guess its time for me to batten down the hatches with this thing floating around on the web. No more internets for me this week...well except for Subeta (like neopets, but more adult). See you guys when I finish the book on Saturday (or Sunday if I decide to sleep at all this weekend).

    I'd be suspicious that it's real. JK Rowling actually... you know, cares about this, and she really sits on her material (remember during the security crackdown on British planes? They wanted to take her bag with her manuscript? She said she would sail home rather than let them have it?). She has been freaking out on ebay for years, and maybe none of you know what happened last book? A bookseller accidentally shelved Book 6 a week before the date, and sold 8 copies before it was caught (when you think about - someone found out pretty damn fast). Her lawyers tracked down the 8 consumers and got an injunction prohibiting them from talking about it and made them give the books back. She promised them signed copies on the release date and stuff - she was nice about it, but she isn't fucking around. She also keeps pretty aware of artificial downloads and stuff.

    I agree with Jenny. It seems pretty damned unlikely. And I pray that whatever's out there for download is a huge, elaborately crafted rainbow of lies. 'Cause that would be hysterical.

    Downloader: "Wasn't it great when Dumbledore returns from the grave as a vampire - with a soul, though - and turns Harry into one too?"

    Legitimately Purchased Book Reader: "Um, that . . . never . . . uh, yeah. It was great." (Continues enjoying real ending.)

    Well...it had to either be close or the real thing...due to the fact that it has now been removed due to copywrite complaints!!

    I took a look at it, and showed Twin, who works at a book store. We think it's legit. Everything that should be there looks spot on.

    I dont see the distinction. If you buy it later, how can it be thievery? the only difference is that you just happen to have a copy *NOW*.....not to mention that you dont even know if its even real and wont know until you buy an official print of it.

    Therefore, no harm, no foul. Its like buying music and ripping it to you computer so you can have it on your ipod. Same thing with converting Audiobooks from CD to the ipod - much more compact to just carry the pod rather than a disc and a disc player.

    No distinction there, this book thing is the same...just the other way around

    I think that is a bit extreme - I see no reason to have had to have an injunction - its no different as if I still wanted to read it after it was already out, I just didnt get around to buying it yet and hear people talking about it. No matter what time frame, Id still tell them STOP I HAVENT READ IT YET, or just have left the immediate area
