| | |  French teen in trouble over DH translation
A 16-year-old high school student was arrested on Monday, for posting online a complete unauthorized translation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in French just days after the English version was released on July 21. The boy was released the following day after questioning by authorities but could be charged at a later date for "violating intellectual property rights."
French police shut down the website.
French translator, Jean-Francois Menard, is currently working on the official translation of Deathly Hallows which is due to be released on October 26. | |

Thats not cool... They should be aware of piracy... I feel for the French people... All the English-speaking people already knew what happened and the rest must wait for it to come out...

I just hope he translated it correctly, because otherwise all those excited French HP fans just read a wrong translation.

The kid got what was coming to him.
October 26th is far away from now, but some countries have to wait until 2008.

If they don't want people to do that then they should translate it a bit quicker. I would not be able to survive until october if i was french.

It's ok to translate something and show it to your friends or even fix a bad translation, but then put it online? October 26 is far away, but translations take time.

Having to wait for a non-English Potter book would be a tough thing to wait for, but I'm not sure if a few months in the dark are worth getting in trouble for. | |

I wouldn't do that even if I wanted to. How very un-smart-like.
