It would appear that the latest Harry Potter installment—Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
—has been leaked to the riotous world of BitTorrent as of today, surely leaving more than a few anxious fans worried at how fast the spoilers will begin to appear online. With all the millions spent on securing the title from prying eyes until release, it should still surprise no one that someone figured out a way to circumvent the system. Crudely cobbled shots from a digital camera of every page are beginning to appear online by the hour.
If it’s one thing the anti-Potter brigade can count on, it’s that thousands of readers will collectively and inevitably stop browsing the web now—until they finish the book, at least—in order to avoid the spoiler brigades that are bound to flood the tubes.
(No spoilers here, though, as the comments are turned off for this entry.)
