Turmoil Ahead of Harry Potter Release

My goodness there’s been a lot of noise ahead of the release of the The Deathly Hallows. Howard examines the details of Harry Potter and the Exaggerating Canadian Publisher, and Boing Boing has the details on the hilarious case of the BitTorrented book whose photographer forgot to remove the EXIF data – which includes camera serial number – from the jpg’s of the uploaded pages. Meanwhile, BBC News sums up worldwide developments, including the bizarre case of the US publisher that insists the books it sent out early in the US had nothing to do with online spoilers, when it cannot possibly know this to be true.
