| | |  JKR granted HBP injunction
The Press Gazette reports that JKR has been granted an injunction against anyone publishing any of the contents of ' Half-Blood Prince' prior to its release date.
This means that if anyone acquires the book, they must immediately deliver it and any copies of it to the publisher, or face fines and a jail sentence. Quote:
David Hooper, from law firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain, said: "This far-reaching injunction applies to anyone who has, or has had, possession of all or part of the book without the consent of Bloomsbury Publishing and JK Rowling.
"This type of injunction is known as a John Doe order because those to whom it applies are not named. It doesn't just apply to the two named people who were attempting to sell copies of the book. It catches anyone who is in unauthorised possession of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
"This injunction is much wider in scope than the John Doe order obtained for the previous Harry Potter book."

That's good to know. Hopefully this will alert people not to mess with HBP, and more importantly to beware of the fans, or we'll jump on 'em.  | |

I knew it was serious, but not that much...jail sentence? But then again, she could lose billions if someone leaked out who the HBP is...

Way to go Jo. It's great she's fighting back. I love the suspense of the books and I hate spoilers. I want to know just enough to earnestly want to read it. No more, nor no less.

I think that's the correct thing to do! It's for her protection and there should be punnishment for those who violate her wishes and legal rights.

That's great! I'd hate for someone to be able to read it before the release date.

as it should be, Jo really needed to take those extra measures since HP has become well popular.

Thats a bit harsh dont you think? I mean yes it would spoil the book for alot of people, but... i dont know it seems a bit strong. I understand she wants precautions because Harry Potter is so popular,but a jail sentence?  | |

I'm glad. Whoever tries to take the books is just going to end up spoiling it for us, and we wouldn't want that. It also wouldn't be fair to us fans who have been waiting patiently or impatienly for the books to arrive.

Good for her! It's about time she fought back! She could lose A LOT of money if someone accidentally leaked out who the HBP is! I prefer to read the book and find out for myself! | |

That's good. It helps people realise that they can't mess with Harry Potter/Bloomsbury/Scholastic/JKR.
