Haha, you have no respect for him because he read the book before you?
She wrote two Harry Potter related books that are going to be sold for charity, "Fantastic Beasts" and "Quidditch Through the Ages", she makes a fortune on everything else Harry Potter related. She's worth over a billion USD.

No, he lost respect for him for reading the book in a very non legit way. As have I.

I've lost respect for all of you for torrenting anime.
Now I'm gonna go torrent some stuff and sleep.
I think we're all crooks here, so lay off the guy.

Exactly. You have all in one way shape or form stolen something in your life, to come down on a man who doesn't like the series enough to spend the money on it is pretty shitty. So what, she's still getting your money, and mine, and his and his and hers. One person, or even a million reading it online rather then buying it isn't going to do shit to her portfolio or that of the organization she is giving the proceeds to.
Oh and Oprah is the only female in the world with more money then her.

Kami has a point. I doubt anyone on these boards can claim that they bought absolutely everything they enjoy. But then again, piratism does work as such that it both destroys and feeds the industries it targets. Sure, people avoid buying the product by simply downloading it. But those same people are then more likely to actually buy the product they previously downloaded. I know it`s strange, but it`s true. Consumorism is truly a twisted being.
But I agree on the subject of spoilers. These "killjoys" reveal details of the book out of the sheer fact they are entertained by the destruction of enjoyment of others. And they are, as Kami pointed, sometimes jealous beacuse people are brought together by such a thing. Luckly, spoilers often tend to miss out important details and as such don`t ruin the story completely.

My friend is outside a bookstore now, he gets his copy at 11pm tonight. He plans to be done by 6am tomorrow. I've seen it done before.
US postal service and American laziness ftw!

Good laughs, it's cool if you don't respect me, I don't come to Chubbs to gain people's respect. =P
But um we need a thread to discuss the book now that it's after midnight and some people will be finished reading the book tomorrow morning and what not.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (NO SPOILERS) - Tobias - 07-22-2007
Hee hee. I just finished it.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (NO SPOILERS) - Jewtastic - 07-22-2007
Im about 250 pages in...damn near couldn't put it down last night to fall asleep. Chapter 14 ftw!

My sis and mom bought their copies yesterday.
I thought it was funny though, in the topic of stealing: I walked out of work today and there was this porche conertable. And on the dash was a copy of the new HP book. I litterally could have just picked it up and walked away. lucky for that person, I could care less about reading it. Though... I doubt I'd steal it in any case anyways. I just thought it was weird to leave it out like that. I guess when you're driving a porche convertable, a 20 dollar book isnt that big a deal.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (NO SPOILERS) - Krillin - 07-22-2007
20 dollar? Pretty sure it's $35 for the standard (though, if you got Borders' 40% off deal, it'd be essentially $20).

If you go to the Walmart by my house, the new book cost about the same price as Aqua said.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (NO SPOILERS) - Saz - 07-23-2007
I have no interest in reading the book, but yesterday I looked up the spoilers on the net, so now I know what happens so I can ruin it for other people. =P
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (NO SPOILERS) - Krillin - 07-23-2007
Screw you Sazuaa.
