Pirated copies of Dan Brown's new Robert Langdon thriller The Lost Symbol have started appearing across the internet only a day after the book was published.
I'm surprised it took that long.

Most likely that it took a day to show up in locations that even the writer of the article was able to find.

It didn't. It was up on TPB the day of its release.

Actually, I first saw it appear online (Undernet) at about 1400GMT. Though it might have been up earlier, but that was when people were downloading it a lot.
In other news, wtf:

Don't worry, thats just because that site is too polite to write simply bollocks thriller.

But clearly the writers at the Guardian didn't fact-check on the earliest release times.
