One of the Internet's Most Diabolical Gate-Crashing Events
Wow. This is a brutal blow to book publishing and everything about the way it operates, especially when it comes to highly anticipated releases.
TechCrunch reports that the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows can be downloaded through BitTorrent. It's not an ebook, but photographs of the actual pages. Not handy for reading, but still readable. And it totally blows the lid off the publishers' intricate plans for midnight releases around the world on July 21. Reports are that Bloomsbury Publishing spent nearly $20 million just on securing the book's contents until July 21.
