Ok. Not to stir the pot, but if many of you as it seems write fanfic and 
think it is ok, whether you know copyright laws or not, what is the big fuss 
over the books being made available, for free, as I understand it, on the 
internet. I personally own both hardcover and softcover of all available HP 
books, but would not mind, as others have stated, the ease of an electronic 
copy.

IMO, I am getting tired of all these copyright infringement arguements. I 
feel that if no one is making a profit from these "pirated" works, then 
there is no problem. Besides I would consider it free and large scale 
advertising. Many people I know personally, have gone out and bought 
something because of an "illegal" peek at it--whether it has been books, 
music or movies. I in no way want to deprive individual authors either their 
well deserved kudos or money, but I do think it is getting a little 
ridiculous.

Just my two cents--please take no offense or judge me based on this. I 
really enjoy this group and the discussions.
