Hello everyone !
I received a few howlers in the last 24 hours, so maybe i should post
some reply. At first, i'd like to state that i wouldn't want to steal
even a penny from Joanne Kathleen Rowling. And i didn't think for a
moment that this is in any way legal, but i thought that all of you
have bought at least one copy of every book, and so no money will
be "stolen" from Joanne. Now i remember that one of my friends who
spent a year in the USA told me that there live people who DO care
about copyright laws, but not in my wildest dream could i imagine
THIS... after all, it's true, it's illegal, so i'd like to say sorry.
Maybe you don't believe it, but here, in Eastern Europe, no one cares
about copyright laws, so i didn't think that you do so much. Of
course i won't send this URL anywhere on the net any more, and i'd
like to ask you to forgive me. Being a software developer, i also see
why copyright laws would be important, but again, in my country,
copyright laws are not much less fictious than Harry Potter and
Hogwarts. None of my friends have anything on their hard disk that
they paid for, and that's not because they are criminals, but because
most of the people can not afford to buy software, so illegal copies
became morally accepted. (I use legal development software for my
work) Again, excuse me, i didn't want to do any harm to anyone.
(after all, some of the HP fan sites are illegal too, but most of the
people are on their side, me too...)
bye
Fefe
