| | | Six thousand pirated Potters seized
Following the arrest of a man in New Delhi, India, 28,000 pirated books were seized, with just under a quarter of them being Harry Potter. The raid happened in a factory in Pandav Nagar area, where illegal copies of novels, including the 6,600 Potters, were printed. Quote:
He used to sell the pirated books at very low prices at the traffic signals and to foot path vendors, they said.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Isla Pervell Fourth Year | I bought a pirated book once, by accident ofcourse. it was supposedly 'Gossip Girl', hehehe, but the bits where she's on the internet site were all in some odd language, or no language at all.. Anyway... The moral of my story is.. DON'T BY PIRATED BOOKS!
