that’s supposed to be funny?

sorry, but it doesn’t even remotely make any sense.

maybe moveon should stay away from trying to be funny and move on to being serious. “funny” doesn’t work for them.

Moveon.org has posted information blaming Karl Rove and President Bush
for the unauthorized release of the Harry Potter book. ;> Well not really, but in the words of Judy Tenuta, “It could happen!

Yes I read the article too. It says at the top if you play nice we will give you some goodies. Then at the bottom, it says, but if you don’t play nice the supreme court is gonna jump all over you.

Irrespective of where the decision was made, it is US in nature, hense the comment on the US. It is like the MPAA, “Pay us $100 000 OR we will sue you for $150 000 000″

unless you’re an army deserter who didn’t vote for Monkeyboy. If you’re a repub who was pro war, pick up a gun, go to the desert and get the gas for your Humvee yourself.

The publishing company is victim of its’ own hype. Now they have staged this release of come at such and such a date at such and such a time. Evidently they want a buying spree with all the hype they can muster to go with it.

This is just to reminiscent of what the movie and music business does, is to stage the release. Sometimes these staged releases come as a backfire and I hope this is one of them. Best thing would be an ebook copy out there within a day or two. Barring that, maybe the customers get fed up with it. They got far more than this one upcoming day to sell this book. They got another 75 years for the author and what, 95 years for the publisher? Just maybe before the end of copyright they will be able to recoup their expenses that were so important to protect at the outset. If they haven’t made it in that time, they aren’t going to make it.

So why get their panties in a wad?

Bloomsberry (England) made all the rules for the lay down, not the US

There have been US Military installations in Canada for many, many years.

There is even talk of “harmonizing” our border in order to “facilitate trade”. Meanwhile, leftist joe on the street is about as chaulk full of Anti-US rhetoric as you could find in any cold-war era marixist discussion group in University.

Not sure which electoral process is more friggered though!!!! 5 parties in a first-past-the-post system designed for a dual party legislature is downright broken when a 30% party gets majority!!!

if you really did buy, i hope you paid cash and not credit card.

but, you should sell it on ebay right now and make a fortune – before they block the sale like they did with the live8 tickets!

Why should I return the book? XD hahaha you don’t know who bought what! I bought the book legitly at the store, I don’t have to return it… it will be officially out soon anyway! =P
Its just a book! XD

Stupid courts are once again overstepping their bounds… They have no right to tell me to return something I bought legitly!

Maybe, I shouldn’t have even supported the book, since its makers are being such assholes about all this… XD sheeeesh settle down people… its just a book, not like its unreleased software, or a movie! =P It comes out soon anyway.
Maybe I’ll take this chance to spoil the plot, and give some people reasons not to buy it! lol

It’s interesting that the publishers felt they needed to go to the extreme of threatening their customers with court orders. The entertainment cartels do it all the time. But aren’t reputable book publishers above that sort of thing?

Potter fans are said to be ardent and one would assume that, given the very, very small number of people who bought Half Prince (a radio program called them a ’select’ group), it would probably have been enough to use the media to simply ask them to keep quiet, if not actually return the book.

Issuing panicky court orders means the publishers don’t believe their ‘valued’ customers are responsible people.

Cheers!

I can see it now, Sir Ian standing there facing Voldemort with the Supreme Court Judgement in his hand shouting:

“YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK! YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK!”

Gag orders are lame, even more so when the gag order is actioned against people who have broke no law. They merely purchased something they thought was released and now their freedom to speak about it is threatened with legal action… shudder.

So when are the US scheduled to start occupying Canada?
