Scholastic gets subpoena to identify spoiler
Scholastic gets subpoena to identify spoiler The LA Times is reporting that the US Harry Potter publisher obtained a subpoena to learn the identity of a user who allegedly posted copies of Deathly Hallows on a California website.

Scholastic said in a court filing Monday that "materials hosted on Photobucket.com's system" contain materials that infringe copyrights owned by Scholastic and J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. Photobucket.com, a News Corp. unit, is a website for sharing photos and videos on social networks such as MySpace.

The subpoena was sent to Gaia Interactive Inc. in San Jose seeking the identity of a user on gaiaonline.com, a social network, according to the filing in San Francisco federal court.

Gaia complied with the subpoena, removed the material and temporarily banned the user from the site, said Gaia spokesman Bill Danon.

I think a few people here could do with a dose or two of tranquilizer. Just sayin'. Cantcme99, I don't think they're the same spoilers..lots of "spoilers" are contradictory right now, so who knows what's going on...wish there was some clarification from someone (i.e. Bloomsbury, Scholastic, Jo) at the moment, so all of this could be shot down or confirmed, and the silly arguing and spoiling here would just....end.

I read another article that it is out on pirate bay - I haven't looked at it, but there were several files there that claim to be HP and the DH.

Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

well, i went to my dogs personal website and they said that the cheesecake actually kills everyone and then it dies.......idk if it's true, but i darn well think it is....


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

sirius_lee: hi!!!!!!!! rob15: i have no clue what you are talking about, but im guessing that you are mad at a few people....


Posted by Ashlee751 Jul 17th 2007

ahh does that mean that they ARE real? I've seen many pictures of not only the chapter titles but excerps from certain chapters as well and I must say that they were amazing and made me really want to turn the page! ahh The pages that I saw truely gave nothing out of the ordinary away, although the epilogue thats been going around...lets just hope that one is fake! I really think that it is because the guy who put the excerps online said that was not the way they ended. And I've seen the photos on many more sites including flickr, tinypics they are scattered everywhere, all under different names, but are all obviously taken by the same person (his hand is in just about every picture and the carpet is exactly the same) I wonder if they'll find him, and if they know that there is someone else that has put an Ebook online of the first half.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

hey rob15- moonshine shouldnt be insulted 4 saying cheesecake cuz we formed the cheesecake club b/c of u and we are now the cheesecakians, about 7 members so far, u are our president cuz u started it!!!!


Posted by sunbird498 Jul 17th 2007

The spolier was shown to me by a friend. I seriously hope it wasn't true, it crushed me when I realized what it was, and even more when I found out that it is probably true. Why would someone do that!!!!!! I am soooooo sad.


Posted by chitrab Jul 17th 2007

What I do not understand is why anyone who spoils the book for others would call themselves fans, the bloody traitors.


Posted by randimccl13 Jul 17th 2007

I accidentally went to one of the sites! I am so upset at myself, but it looks legit. Be careful what you click on!


Posted by rob15 Jul 17th 2007

SIRIUS_LEE: i created the club man, i started all the cheesecake stuff, i created the cheesecakeian oath, and i dubbed the evil spoiler Housifa Dirtburglar and i named his followers Death Aggies


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

sorry this is off topic, but on top of the site is a pic of harry and the gang...and man, dan looks like he is constipated from to much cheesecake...i think he ate the moldy strawberries...


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

OMG MOONSHINE(DRAMATIC MUSIC) JERKYHOLE IS HERE AND I THINK HE HAS FINALLY POSTED HIS COMMENT 4 THE NINE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

Oops. I forgot. Snape dies as well. This is consistent with what others have said.


Posted by PotterGeek731 Jul 17th 2007

Jerkyhole, mugglent mugglenet hasn't banned you yet?


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

booboone, i am glad u could make it consistantly contradicting other "spoilers"


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

sirius_lee---my gosh i think your right! its the 9 millionth anniversary of jerkyhole's posting spoilers! we need some kind of celebration for this....


Posted by Hopper19 Jul 17th 2007

I think that everyone needs to take a step back and realize, not everyone wants to have the ending spoiled. I for one, NEVER read the ending of a book first. Ruins the fun. Please people, respect others rights and don't ruin it for the rest of us!!!


Posted by performingmonkey Jul 17th 2007

If the spoilers are real, I'm sorry but the way Voldemort dies is not to my liking. He should NOT have died if that was what Jo came up with. He should have had his powers stripped and thrown in a muggle jail to rot forever. To become a muggle would be the worst thing for Voldemort, not death, even though he does fear it so. I knew this would happen though...I knew I wouldn't like everything, and neither will a lot of people. She isn't going to please everyone .


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

MOONSHINE--- i have an idea, CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!!! but jerk***hole doesnt get any!!!


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

I didn't read the ending nor did i read the whole book. I saw screenshot pics of the book. The link that i have uploaded has now been deleted, but i have saved the pics in my computer.


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

mmm....cheesecake is so good...i wish i could get a strawberry cheesecake, those are so good!


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

good for u booboone


Posted by acbmusicx Jul 17th 2007

I honestly don't think that anyone can believe the spoilers they hear now. Most of the people spoiling the book haven't even read it.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

moonshine- yea and then we'll eat it in front of jerkyhole 4 his celebration. god he probably sits there taking naps and having his nappy changed and in between those things, he copy pastes stupid spoiler remarks


Posted by hpgirl_91 Jul 17th 2007

thank goodness they are taking action! i am doing anything I can (except hiding in a hole- i am going offline after tomorrow!) to keep from being spoiled. Why are people so stupid!


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

i just think everyone needs some cheesecake up in dis house!!!! woot


Posted by PotterGeek731 Jul 17th 2007

I agree with acbmusicx people like jekrkyhole and booboone are just bored so they try and fail to spoil it for the rest of us


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

I don't think i believe it 100 percent either. But i've seen many screenshot pictures of the book. I went to two different sites and saw the pictures, but now the pictures are all deleted. If the book is fake, than there is no need to delete the pictures so quickly.


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

sirius_lee---he did say that he uses the ctrl C+V method...i tried it and it copies and pastes. so technically he just copies and pastes it and thats why he can put up the spoiler so many times. i would hate having to type all that over and over again.:(
