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.

so i saw one of the spoilers on here on facebook and one guy reminds me of a guy on here and his name is Daniel Levine.....i saw it on the iRead section for DH.....it would be funny if we could through some serious cheesecake on his a**, well, if he is a guy posting on here...


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

lmao u people and ur cheesecake stuff make me laugh :) & All this spoiler stuff . like jerkyhole , are making me laugh too! and if that is real i'll forget it all by the time I read the book

"Posted by carlcamper 5 hours ago So the things in this site are true then, sigh... http://www.zen durl.com/h/hallows/ (n o spaces)" Maybe not, as if you read the scanned pages, they contradict the spoilers on top. HOWEVER, if these spoilers are true, I'll give credit to Jo. I may not like it, but lets face it- in war people are going to die.


Posted by chitrab Jul 17th 2007

Why hasn't jerkyhole given up yet?


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

maybe b/c jerkyhole just doesn't have a life...or cheesecake.....


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

meh who knows. cuz he doesnt have a lifee.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

chitrab cuz he learned how to copy paste and hes having fun doing so. MOONSHINE-- have u noticed that the conversation that happened 4 eight hours yesterday and the one today always end with u and me?


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

chitrab---im supposing that either he finds this all very amusing or he has something against hp fans. im not sure which, but those are just my guesses. i know this sounds crazy, but maybe we should thank him. if it wasnt for him, we wouldnt have all started talking and then the cheesecakeians wouldnt exist!


Posted by U_No_Poo Jul 17th 2007

Okay, I just finished reading it. HARRY GETS CONSTIPATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK, AND HE TAKES LAXATIVES, AND HERMIONE GIVES HIM A SPELL TO CLEAR IT UP, BUT HE ENDS UP WITH A HORRIBLE CASE OF DYSSENTRY AND DIES!!!! OH, AND VOLDEMORT ENDS UP SACRIFICING HIS LIFE FOR HIS BELOVED CHEESECAKE! And then in the end of the book, it talks about how ROWLING WILL WRITE A BOOK CALLED HARRY POTTER (AKA: THE POTTY PROBLEM BOY) AND THE WONDERFUL CHEESECAKE. OH, AND RON CHANGES HIS NAME TO CHEESECAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOOK, so most of the end of the book is hermione and ginny arguing about whether or not Voldemort loved Ron and was using Harry as a scapegoat.


Posted by dumbledoreISdead Jul 17th 2007

what are your thoughts on the "epilouge"? i know that the 495 scans are real- well thats what i thnk anyways but ive herad the epiloge is absolutly god awful - i havnt read it, however i know whats in it because of the idoiots on the comments that wrote what happened in the "epilogue" anyone ealse think its fake? i do, but that could just be wishful thinking


Posted by SReinhart Jul 17th 2007

I came across the spoilers, and frankly am not surprised of much that was actually spoiled from the book. It's exactly as i would have guessed having read the other six books. If you read them closely you can really discover things about characters that will happen in the events later in books such as what is going on 19 years later. The fact that the final chapter of Half-Blood Prince gives a lot away allows anyone to piece together a lot of the major points in the story, though not necessarily the story itself. I didn't find this out from gaia, i heard it on the news and came straight online to find out about the story, and no less than 5 minutes of searching found the spoilers themselves, but i'm not shocked, and still can't wait to actually read this. Reading a book the first time may be an exploration in unknown territory, but every reading afterward you'll have already read it before to know exactly what will happen after all is done, does that mean you will enjoy it less? Not at all. Sometimes it's not how the book ends that we enjoy, but how we get to it's conclusion. This is what makes harry potter worth reading, and why despite knowing what will happen will very much enjoy reading deathly hallows. :)


Posted by rooon Jul 17th 2007

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't post spoilers!


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

I think its fake! lol . not that i've read it .... but i'm hoping it is , cuz you're all saying its bad..


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

Actually i came to this site to find out what happened in the book. So i appreciate the *spoilers*. If you dont want to know about the leaks, than don't come on the internet searching for Harry Potter.


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

sirius_lee----i did notice that. i also noticed that you are the person i talk to the most on mugglenet.


Posted by sugarblue2 Jul 17th 2007

CHEESECAKIANS UNITE!


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

moonshine--- yeah thats also true, and we usually start commenting at the same time 2 and logging off


Posted by rob15 Jul 17th 2007

MOONSHINE: death aggies are evil librarians that steal DH and post spoilers and Housifa Dirtburglar is their leader


Posted by Xceptional Jul 17th 2007

So will it be illegal to download these pics and view them? can the used who downloaded them face chargers?


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

uhm.. I don't think so..


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

It's not illegal. As long as you were not the one that uploaded the original pictures of the book. I saved the pictures in my computer, and I will check to see if it's the same as the one that will be released. Why would anyone care if you download the pictures you found on a photo sharing site? That's stupid.


Posted by ajaye Jul 17th 2007

this is so crazy. how low will people go to spoil everyone's fun ) :


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

I really don't know.... it's kinda sad don't yah think?


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

rob15---how did you come up with the names?


Posted by rob15 Jul 17th 2007

cheesecakeians must untie to stop the evil Housifa Dirtburglar and his Death Aggies for they must not spoil DH!!! If you've got anger, THATS GOOD!!! AGRESSION!! EVEN BETTER. BUT WE GOTTA HARNESS *clenches fist* THAT ANGER AND THAT AGRESSION AND USE IT ON THE CHEESECAKEIAN BATTLEFFIELD!!


Posted by SnapeKillsKira Jul 17th 2007

At this point I just want the real thing. The spoil_me_dh LJ community says the pics are fake...there's no suture binding the pages, and they say the jacket was on regular impressed paper.....this is all just a big puzzle. At this point I don't even remember the spoilage anymore it's all so confused XD It's like discussing theories, only with fancy pictures showing them.


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

How stupid can you morons be? Did you read the warning on this page It said " and details from Deathly Hallows may be posted here. If you do not wish to be spoiled, we strongly advise that you DO NOT proceed." Um, yeah. Learn to read next time, some people do come on here to find out what happened. If you don't want to know, DO NOT PROCEED. duh. People who can't read is what is truely sad.


Posted by Yoshi Jul 17th 2007

Yeah it's pretty sad that people will go that far just to spoil the book for people. Think of the measurements they most probably had to have taken to be able to get hold of it.


Posted by ashurlito Jul 17th 2007

HALLOWSAINT- the official people wher me and rob15 but then i went to I LOVE FRENCH FRIES so... GO FRENCH FRIES AND GOOOOOO CHEESCAKE UHUUU FRENCHFRIES AND CHEESCAKE ROCK YAYAYAYAYAYYA


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

rob 15--- yea where DO u get this stuff, its so stupid and funny, u make me laugh ^_^


Posted by verisimility Jul 17th 2007

They were definitely real. The art and page, and even the book, the writing...yeah, real. Awesome ending, though. :3 I've got some new favourite characters, and I'm sure fanfiction will live on through them!!


Posted by chitrab Jul 17th 2007

But, booboone, it is the principle of the matter that counts. Just because mugglenet can not stop such spoilers does not make it right.


Posted by jerkyhole Jul 17th 2007

BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!


Posted by mariatc Jul 17th 2007

hullo fellow cheesecakeians!! WHY is jerkyhole the jerk still here? i recall that we have told him sevreal times and in several ways to leave. hmm...but he doesnt. What should we do now? Throw cheescake at him until he cries? OR..I KNOW! We should give him the maximum punishment... ban him from eating cheesecake forever! *evil grin*


Posted by ashurlito Jul 17th 2007

Posted by DarkRa Jul 17th 2007

When something leaks to the Internet is impossible to control. I was able to download the whole book in JPG form (72MB) and it's 100% the genuine. I hate spoilers, so I won't say anything that the whole book is MINDBLOWING


Posted by sarahL Jul 17th 2007

omg jerkyhole shut up. lmao seriously


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

booboone---most people who read the books dont want to know what happens. they like to be able to enjoy reading it. we just come here to talk.


Posted by sugarblue2 Jul 17th 2007

HALF BLOOD FRENCH FRY EATING CHEESECAKIANS UNITE!


Posted by chitrab Jul 17th 2007

Back again!!!!!!! Clearly you have no respect for anyone else, jerkyhole!


Posted by doughnuts Jul 17th 2007

GAIA ROCKS


Posted by booboone Jul 17th 2007

Alot of things are not right in this world. If someone lost a wallet full of money, don't expect you will get the wallet back with all the money in tact. If you don't want to know what happen, why the hell would you be looking at the comments on this page?


Posted by danny_wheezes18 Jul 17th 2007

http://www.latimes.com/fe atures/books/la-et-potter leakjul18,0,5761743.story ?track=mostviewed-storyle vel all they say is that the versions are conflicting and wont say if they are accurate or not which pains me to believe that they are real.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 17th 2007

Posted by PotterGeek731 Jul 17th 2007

Because boobone some people look at these posts for other's thoughts on the news posted by mugglenet


Posted by SnapeKillsKira Jul 17th 2007

This discussion is like gambling. It's exciting, only without the possibility of becoming poor, and without life-threatening situations. I'm having a blast, I've forgotten what I was spoiled, that's how confused everything is. And Cheesecake is like the "that's what she said" jokes, or the "Believe it!" catchphrase from Naruto. "Tee hee" the first time, "STFU you blithering idiot" the next 59698769 times. Jerkyhole is like a dog that keeps trying to hump your leg, even after you kick him away countless times. At one point you were like "Eww gross," and now you're just like "sheesh I know, now go find something better to do." Yep, I was in the mood for useless comparisons.
