Thanks for raising hell! Yes, it is both a book thief and a phisher, from reports. There are several legal folk and organizations trying to go through their legal bits, including the legal representation of both JK Rowlings and Stephen King. Scholastic and Time/Warner are both in on it as well, since one of our authors actually got through to the president of Scholastic and is keeping him posted.There are government folk also now involved as well. But everyone's gotta keep making noise so they'll keep it up.
