overwhelming stupidity
So the entire world has been hyped for months about the new HP book release. About the only thing drawing more press was the iPhone.
For whatever reason, the official channels were unable to produce a French language version of the book for release day, and in fact are unable to keep pace with a single teen working for free in spare time... (no, I won't comment on how ridiculous that is!) so rather than admitting they created the problem, rather than hiring this enterprising youth, they arrest him?!?
This is a perfect example of how absolutely stupid the war on piracy is. Create piracy, and then moan about piracy, while still failing to help yourselves choosing instead to blame, harrass, intimidate and ultimately sue/jail your loyal customers and fans.
