You know, I always thought that I was a person who loved spoilers and to know what happens in the next HP book.
I now know I am not.
The ammount of people posting the book online, intentionally, is unbelievable. Helen and I (from MN.com) stopped a group of people who were going to register on CoS and intentionally post the biggest spoiler of the book. To be mean. How screwed up is that?
I have to make a point. I'm not bothered if people have the book, but for the love of the sweet lord, surely they know that posting it online is gonna get them into trouble.
At least 10 people have posted the book, or a certain page of the book, online for others to share. As I've been the only one on news duty tonight on the site, I've been the only one attending to the emails coming through the news tips address.
I hope by ranting about this people dont think Im stuck up or whatever, I just dont want the book ruined for the fans as it's been ruined for me. And yes, to put the icing on the cake I did call scholastic about the people who had posted it online. I stand by my actions.
