A News.com report talks about the new Harry Potter movie and how there are fake copies circulating around on Morpheus and LimeWire. To me, this begs the question “Who would fake content?” I would think that the only people with a vested interest in polluting content would be trade organizations like the RIAA or MPAA. Perhaps a few enterprising individuals are using this as a marketing opportunity, to distribute branded content – porn for example – using a popular search term as a wrapper. What do you think?
