I am not joking. Apparently some half-witted folks with a self-destructive urge
are selling the
illegal e-book of the new
Harry Potter on eBay (in case the items are already removed - which, if not, I am sure will happen any time soon - see attached screenshot). Some ludicrous quotes:
Quote:
On purchasing this e-book you also purchase the right to resell it to others. These FULL RESELL RIGHTS allow you to resell this e-book to others, whilst you retain the profit.
You cannot go wrong with this price. The real hardcover book is going for 15.00 USD and up!!
Why buy the Hard cover collection? Its the same thing here. Put it on disc and you will have it forever.
Note to All: This e-book is available in the public domain.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to get this book instantly, cheaper and quicker than in retail stores!
You are absolutely FREE TO PRINT AND REPRODUCE/DISTRIBUTE this e-book. This gives you the ability to have a hard copy to hand.
After purchasing, you will receive your e-book via e-mail. Unlike some sellers, we don’t charge an administration fee or a postage fee!

Whatever is their problem, death wish or not, this is NOT the way to convince Rowling and her conglomerate of lawyers to publish
legal e-books for sale!
Or perhaps it is? DRM to the rescue! I would've never thought that this would come out of my mouth. Of course I was just kidding...
