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
