| | Unauthorized Vietnamese translation of 7th book online
Within the hour that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was avaliable online, a Vietnamese translation of the first chapter was up and easy to access. Not too bad, right? Think again. As of now, the first ten chapters are translated - illegaly. All of this, of course, violates Youth Publishing House’s copyright, and makes it even more difficult for the Vietnamese publishers to continue to work. Citizens mistreating overseas novels makes it more difficult to buy copyrights for foreign works and introduce them to the Vietnamese public.
The Youth Publishing House's representative had this to say: Quote:
“Though this irresponsible behavior of the young people in fact doesn’t cause considerable material damage to Youth Publishing House, but in the long run, it can kill the Vietnamese publishing business."
There has still been no action taken from the "responsible" authorities on the matter.
Thanks to TheSnitch! |

Yeah. That's why you don't do those stupid things.
