Harry Cracker
Harry Potter vs. The Hulk/RIAA/MPAA
The New York Times has a piece up that wants to turn a discussion of Harry Potter and the Hulk into a commentary on the file sharing controversy...
While it might be fun to join in on a dig at the RIAA/MPAA, I'm not sure that the piracy side of the argument entirely works. Yes, it's good to see an interest in books in a culture of bubblegum entertainment, but tying it into the piracy thing has one potential flaw. Imagine, if you will, that Harry Potter had come out in an age where eBooks were the norm. Imagine that the eBook security was cracked, and Harry Potter was available online at the same time and in the same format as the kids would be reading it anyway (i.e., downloaded to an eBook reader). Would they still be lining up to buy it?
