New Harry Potter book pirated
Last month, rumors swirled that Internet pirates were distributing copies of the new Harry Potter book well in advance of its blockbuster release. The rumors proved false — or, at least, premature. The moment that “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” went on sale around the world, pirates went to work. Only hours after the first Potter fan forked over $29.95 to read the fifth installment of J.K. Rowling’s epic series, Internet pirates began reading the book for free.
But not every Potter fan paid for the book. Copies of “Order of the Phoenix” are now being distributed by pirate groups on the Internet. While the book is a hefty 870 pages, the digital file is relatively compact; at 1.8 mb, it’s about the size of a few digital music files. The copy viewed by MSNBC.com was created in Microsoft eBook Reader format.
According to an information file which accompanied the book, the digital version was created quickly by a small army of pirates who scanned in the pages of the book manually, then stitched their files together using the Microsoft platform.
