The slow attempts to strangle the Internet continues....anyone that wants to want some of Rowling's work will go out and get the book........ebooks dont look cool on pseudo intelectuals bookshelves :)

Exuse the grammar on last comment, damn messenger :)

Excuse even.....right thats it messengers getting switched off :)

Scottwebb - you're getting yourself into a bit of a fanknakle! ;)

Comment@4 Bill, hi mate......sometimes i think messenger is the work of Satan Lol :)

Who cares?
JK is rich beyond her wildest dreams.
Her missing out on some royalties must be way near the bottom of anyone's list of worries.

The bigger problem lies in the idea that if ebay or other online sites get away with this, where will it stop. If the line isn't drawn now, regardless of JK Rowlings wealth (which incidently I say good for her), whose to say the smaller guy, who WILL be financially affected by illegal pirated sales, won't be the next target? This is how people make their living. Would you want someone taking your paycheck just because they could?

Brave woman to fight for her rights publically and vigorously. That's the energy that saw her through this long undertaking. Not so easy being in the public eye. Buy a copy used in a few weeks after its release if you're poor but don't steal from an imaginative hard-worker.

Today's e-Pirates are sneaks; who wants to make them rich?

Quite right JKR and positive comments 7 and 8 particularly. Kick these thieves where it hurts: in the wallet!

That's one less ivory back scratcher for her, then!

Ebay far less of a crook than its internet pseudo bank paypal.

Try a search on google with "paypal problems".

Paypal and e-Bay modern day refuge for the barrow-boys out for a quick buck.
The site is full of knock off PDF , DVD etc etc JKR should be applauded for taking this stance as per previous posts she can afford to take on these somewhat faceless corporations that hide behind off shore rules & regulations to maximise profit..
