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.

It is sad to anounce I have found the entire book being distributed on the net, they are pictures taken to each page of the book, so I can say it is the real thing, despite I saw only the first page, where JKR tells to whom she is dedicating the book to, I rather wait to have the real book on my hands to read it, I mean it is just a few days left to wait, but I hope people respect everyone else and do not spoil the story!!! It is awful that despite all the money they spent on security, the book is on the net!!!
STOP SPOILING THE BOOK
Morbius... why does it matter if he's a Jew?
if ron dies how come he's in the epiloge?
i have seen the epilogue and the photos that were on photobucket (though i did not read any of it)... but from what people have said, the epilogue was not very good. the photos on photobucket were authentic. i know that much. but the epilogue was not put on the internet by the same person who put the first part of the book on photobucket. just to reassure some of those who were upset with the end, i think the epilogue may have been fake... while the other spoilers were real.
Just curious it would explain alot!!! about the reglious comments
Jews are covetous monsters that spawned from the underside of satan's an'us. Muslims are filthy sand nigg.ers that originated from a sh.it-filled gutter somewhere.
cheers darkfrog anyone got a full download address or anything if i can read it early i will
flsilva you are so nieve. there was this person some where between posts 200-600 that showed us that he can do the exact page that jkrowling uses and the print and copy-right and everything in merely 30 minutes. I said it before and i will say it again. Do not read spoilers, cause they will never be 100% true, and it'll take all the fun outta the book when you find out it isnt true. please please please dont read those 460 pages because its 80% not true, but an asshole thats good at photo shop. If you find out its not true, and you wasted time reading fake 460 pages you will feel sad. this is the last time im telling everyone
Hey JerkyASShole, if Ron dies how come he's in the last darn chapter of the book alive and well
Well said, darkfrog... and besides, it's not really spoiled for me, because I'm not actually sure that it's true or not. I'm taking it as I would take theories.
jerkyhole, stop the religious comments. nobody thinks its cool, honey. just calm down... now go pick up your meds. i think you forgot to take them today.
darn comcast and the stupid spoiler. i am crushed by what i read completely by accident on their website.
Judging by jerkyholes last comment he is a white power Nazi and he does not care for anyone else's feeling's. plus there is no reasoning with a person like that i agree with Cherry let's just ingore him!
we get it jerkyhole... you know the 'spoilers' we've all seen the spoilers you posted up thanks to your marvelous job of POSTING THEM IN CAPITAL LETTERS LIKE SO... it's enough already. i understand you're a troll, and want to take the fun out of it for people, but enough is enough. some people, like myself, look forward to reading these books, and there isn't anything you gain in your twisted little world from ruining what could be a fun experience for other poeple. and i know that if you read this, you'll probably just be 'LOL IM SO FUNNY HAHAHAHAHA', but seriously, we get the message... you're a dick.
Sieg heil! Wir mussen die juden austrotten! Heil hitler, mein fuhrer!

Hahaha, sorry darkfog, I'm running on 0 hours of sleep. How long did it take you to look up those German translations, jerkyhole? I know I'm contradicting myself, but I can't resist, he's just too cute!

Cool.
jerkyhole...now im worried for you. dude, go to a psichiatrist or something before you turn completely crazy.
Sorry--apparently my punctuation truncated my post. :) cherrykiss314 said "I know I'm contradicting myself, but I can't resist, he's just too cute!" Hee hee. Cute in a Kreacher-like fashion? :)
Voldemort is Keyser Soze.
Cherrykiss314 how can you say thats "cool"????
just ignore him you idiots jerkyhole OBVIOUSLY all the posts you make are in caps. I can easily skip any comment I see in all caps and not read it because I know you are trying to ruin the ending
how are these people able to get a hold of the book? that's so weird.. and it sucks. i haven't seen any spoilers, except for random comments on here that are probably untrue.
I sincerely hope y'all have reported that pervert, because it has been some time and he is STILL fouling these pages, isn't he? *Coughcoughreligiouspedop hilecoughcough*
Well, if I went off into a rant, like "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO RACIST WHY DO YOU EVEN COME HERE IT'S NOT FAIR STOP POSTING SPOILERS!" it'd just make the situation worse, right? I'm not racist... and yes, MyThreeWizards, in a Kreacher way, or perhaps the little boy down the road who uses turtles for bicycle ramps and feeds firecrackers to frogs... he's a disgusting little bugger but the fact that he thinks it's lyk totally awesum makes him almost endearing!
He's like the younger snape in snape's worst memory crying in the corner all alone
Well, it was fun chatting with you all. Bedtime.
****NO SPOILERS IN THIS POST**** ****NO SPOILERS IN THIS POST ****VERY IMPORTANT!! LEAKS ARE A FAKE**** Too bad MTV News has already confirmed that these are all FAKE! They did some kind of synopsis and have a lot of evidence to prove that they ARE FAKE!! 1. There are multiple different version of the book out there that all claim to be "true" or instance, calls chapter 10 "Kreacher's Tale," while another table of contents calls the same chapter "The Reflection in the Mirror." Some who claim to have one version of the book have posted recaps, or spoilers, of what's to come in book seven — with scans offered as proof. But even within that, there are inconsistencies, with people claiming Ron and/or Ginny Weasley die alongside a scan of an "epilogue" that reveals that both Ron and Ginny live happily ever after. 2. Problems with the transparency of the pages and how each page is different which doesn't seem to add up. 3. Errors in spelling and grammar-which for the most anticipated book of all time, should be at a minimum. ****AND TO WRAP THIS WHOLE THING UP-THE ONE THING EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR!!!**** Still, while not saying whether the leaks are indeed fakes, "Potter" publisher Scholastic obtained a subpoena on Monday to learn the identity of a user who posted copies on a social-networking site in California. Some fans looked at this as proof that the leaks were real, but a spokesman from Scholastic explained to MTV News that the subpoena was sought because "any material from or derived from the books is a copyright infringement." THAT means-that if I were to make my own ending to the potter series and used the copyrighted characters and posted it...i could get in trouble-like the person from California is- for USING the characters and titles of copyrighted material. **Read on my fellow Potter Fans. For the spoilers are NOT real. We will know the real truth, and ending, this Saturday morning.
I've got it. I feel kind of bad getting it from these people, but once I knew it was out there I couldn't resist. I promise not to say a word, and obviously I'm still buying the book on Saturday.
i read some of the comments and WHY IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT CHEESECAKE? hahahhaaa it's funny though. i love cheesecake.
Ugh I ran across these leaked pages online! I hope that they aren't the real thing because I wanted to be surprised.
I've got the book, aswell, and finished it a couple of hours ago. And many of the 'spoilers' posted here are wrong, anyway, so don't listen to them. =-)
Well, thank god I didnt see the spoilers because I go onto gaiaonline.com alot.
voldykins how/where did you get the book?
woooo soccerboi, i hope your right!!
I've read the scans---jerkyhole's "Spoilers" are not what is said in the books--he has no idea what he's talking about...no worries y'all..even if you read them-they are fake. It's been proven from a literary standpoint as well as by a lot of media outlets now. {My cousin works for Scholastic and said from what she knows, they are also not legit.}
Sorry to do this, but I read about the first 100 comments and then realized that there are just way too many spoilers/potential spoilers in here. Couldn't read any more. A link on my news home page led me to http://www.zen durl.com/h/hallows/, which was the link that had all of the pictures and a description of who died. Yes, I'm an idiot for clicking on it. I acknowledge that fact. For those who are a little more involved in the discussion here, are those the true spoilers, or is it another hoax? The chapter titles, picture on each titles and style of writing looked pretty authentic. I only read the "bullet points" at the top about who died and what became of the remaining characters after they left Hogwarts. Didn't read any of the epilogue. Mike
I found it online this morning. The entire one, because someone had gotten the book early and taken pictures of EVERY single page. Looks like a few other people here may have found it, too. =-)
I propose.... THE CHEESECAKE ANTHEM! Cheesecake is the best admit it, we have been blessed with its sensational flavors and over the top vapors Someone keep writting the anthem ! lol
it's FAKE PEOPLE, EVERYTHING, THEY HAVE PROOF ALREADY
heys guys and fellow cheesecakeians, im gping now, to sleep. peace eveyone, and unite against spoilers!
mef623: Those spoilers are definitely FALSE.
