Harry Potter Book 7 Leaked on Bittorrent

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has apparently been leaked via Bittorrent.

Note: I haven’t downloaded a copy via Bittorrent (or even used the above link).

Although a violation of copyright laws, my guess is that it will have little or no effect on book sales. Die hard fans are likely to preemptively download a bootleg copy and still read the print edition when it arrives.

The big issue is whether you or I will be able to avoid spoilers on the Internet until we can get the actual book to read.

    The New York Times breaks the embargo and posts its review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before Book 7 is sold to the general public.
