New Harry Potter Book Leaked Onto BitTorrent

Seems JK Rowlings latest and greatest, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” has been leaked onto BitTorrent.

OJ’s murder tome, “If I Did It, made a splash a while back after showing up on Demonoid, and now it seems that Harry Potter is the most recent novel to be leaked by the BitTorrent community.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” apparently first appeared on Demonoid, and then Mininova but, both sites, rightly nervous, have since removed the BitTorrent trackers from their sites and left the job of making the book available to the Pirate Bay, whom I’m sure relish the opportunity to spread copyrighted content far and wide.

With spoilers for the new book already having graced the internet some time ago, surprises are now no longer left to the imagination but, the early release of the book will no doubt satisfy the cravings of the devout “Potterheads” that abound.

One torrent as pictured below, is comprised of digital photos of the first 495 pages of the book……

…with the second comprising the remainder.

The quality of the images is mediocre at best but, if you can’t wait for your latest fix of Harry Potter then you can download it from the Pirate Bay.

I've been interested in P2P since the early, high-flying days of Napster and KaZaA. I believe that analog copyright laws are ill-suited to the digital age, and that art and culture shouldn't be subject to the whims of international entertainment industry conglomerates. Twitter | Google Plus

@Zoness Exactly I mean "reading" pictures? Like we all dont stare at the screen enough as it is...... It's like e-books and the like nothing beats a good physical book.

Even if the book was leaked onto the net I'm still going to buy it. If it was a movie or music I'd have it by now butI do enjoy reading physical copies of books and I want to own a copy and be at my local bookstore on the night of the release.

oh ho soul! the web adress is IN the pictures. ZING!

@mountain Rage They're just pictures.........there are no direct links to anything. :)

Is it just me or doesn't this news entry go against the Zropaid's posting rules? No post that point towards copyrighted content.
