If you head on over to The Pirate Bay (
no direct links here), you'll notice that their (clickable) logo has been changed.
Whatever you think of them, you gotta admit, they have guts! Just yesterday the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) issued a
press release accusing The Pirate Bay of distributing a leaked copy of the seventh Harry Potter book,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The Pirate Bay, an international engine of illegal file-sharing, is accused of facilitating the distribution of pre-release copies of the latest Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in a move that has been criticised by publishers Bloomsbury. Author J.K. Rowling has previously asked people to respect her embargos and described those who ruin others enjoyment as "sad individuals."

It remains to be seen what J.K. Rowling and her publishers Bloomsbury and Scholastic will do to stop people from spreading the e-copy that got
supposedly pirated. Threatening
innocent blogs is certainly not going to help anyone.
