In most amazing news this week (last week actually, but I’ve been offline for a week) Scholastic sends TechCrunch a takedown notice for their post “The Latest Harry Potter Book Hits BitTorrent”. According to USA Today Scholastic is contacting every site that has mentioned this story and demanding it be taken down. So to tell people that the torrent for the latest Harry Potter book can be downloaded from The Pirate Bay is now copyright infringement? TechCrunch didn’t even directly link to the torrent, in fact they didn’t link to The Pirate Bay at all.
Copyright – two words combined that don’t make sense.
