May I join you? 
Yeah I was a bit pissed off. I was going to stop reading after the last chapter but thought I might be missing out on something in the epilogue. Now I wish I had done. |

I kind of liked it I mean it def. had a sense of closure and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't happy that Ron and Hermione ended up together...i have been waiting for as long as JKR was hinting at it... I would have liked to know more ofcourse about some of the other characters and it wasn't totally satisfying...but then again I don't think she meant it to be either...*shrugs*
I'm just saying I wasn't disappointed with it. |

They've decided he's not being prosecuted anyway, so I guess they saw it the same way you do.

Exactly.
She's earned that money, and she's worked fucking hard for it, so she deserves every penny. It's not up to anybody else to say whether she's got enough. Yeah, she's got plenty, but so have lots of people. |

Yeah, she's got plenty, but so have lots of people. Sorry, I just feel really sorry for this guy, that's all. It must be really frustrating for foreign fans who can't speak English, and I don't think he deserved to be put in prison (even if it was only for a short time, and he's been released). I dunno. I guess it depended a lot on the French police, I'm not sure how much JK had to do with it. |

Posts: 5253 | August 14th, 2007 at 12:23am I think it was a really stupid thing to do, and he really shouldn't have done it as it's blatently illegal, but he's only 16 and I don't think he really meant any harm. Actually I don't think he really thought about what he was doing at all.
So it's good they stopped him, but I'm glad he wasn't prosecuted or anything. |

Also, other authors have their work put on the internet for download or whatever, and screenwriters, and no one gives a damn. He wasn't trying to do any harm, just help other fans. |

I'm not saying he was trying to do any harm. I said I don't think he really thought about the consequences of what he was doing.
It's up to other authors what they do and don't let happen to their work, but what he was doing was wrong. Harry Potter is high profile that's almost certainly why this has got so much media attention. But it's JK's work, he can't just translate it without permission, whether he had good intentions or not it's against the law. |

I just find it unfair that tons of other authors whose work gets copied are ignored, even when the pirates do it for personal profit, and it must be so frustrating for some people to wait for ages the book to come out in their language (if ever). Also, it seems to have been a bit of a coincidence that he got caught at all. If they hadn't already been doing an investigation he probably wouldn't have been caught. I just feel really sorry for the poor kid. He must have been scared shitless. |

I feel sorry for him too, like I said I'm glad he wasn't prosecuted, I'm sure it was scary for him but what he did was wrong, even if he didn't mean anything by it. |
