That fucking wizard

Look, I love books. Really love them; not so keen on the aforementioned wizard, but books are good.

However, the wizard and his publisher are not good. Dont buy it. Really.

Some poor canadians who bought this book were taken to court by the publisher. They were forced to return it, not read it (unless they had already done so, such a reasonable compromise...) and were not allowed to discuss it under pain of some kind of legal ramification.

There is, apparently, no human right to read; according the the wizards publishers anyway.

Sure, the bookstore sold them before the embargo was lifted (a pointless marketron action, IMHO, but reasonable) and deserved a wrist slapping. But to attack unknown fans because they wanted the book and then claim there is no right to read.

Not right. I rarely agree with Mr. Stallman so completely as I do when it comes to his call for a boycott of the books. People should not stand idle and allow a publisher to exercise such control over our posessions. Clearly we should see the future that rms predicted is a future they dream of.

So, whatever you do dont buy Harry Potter.

err!
