Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera
owlgorithm writes "Salon reports that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked four days before it hits bookstores. It turns out that someone with access to the American edition of the book has taken a photograph of every one of the pages and made them available via bittorrent. Publishers may well be quaking in their boots, but in some places the quality is barely legible. On many pages the pirateer's hands are in the pictures with other pages needing a bit of Photoshopping just to make out the words. It appears many of the sites have been removing the content, naturally enough."
On several sites that allow commenting, people are posting the spoilers. I've already had the book ruined for me unexpectedly :P (since it was a week before release)...

A telesync is normally an improvement of sound quality by syncing either the FM broadcast for the hearing impaired (or at a drive-in), or directly into the soundboard. Sometimes the reason that they got a soundboard feed is because they are a projectionist, which is why the video quality may be improved, but this isn't always the case. I think that you mean a dvdscr or dvdrip. :-)

I already read the whole low quality photo thing (remarkable how well your eyes can read horribly blurred jpg compressed text) and posted a summary here for anyone who is interested: http://harrypotter7spoilers.blogspot.com/ there were really only about 4 pages and a few more paragraphs that were illegible. Put it did take some zooming and effort to get through the whole thing in about 6 hours.
I believe you :-)

Quick summary of the spoilers
"I've waited this long, have the day off work and the fridge stocked with spcied wine."
ok, you are the biggest dork, you win.
Remember kids, gazpacho soup is served cold; spiced wine is served hot.
well, according to the EXIF on the pics, they images in question were shot with a camera like this one, i don't really think it counts as "disposable", except maybe to Gates or someone else with an unreasonable amount of money.
then again, the EXIF data can be faked if one was so inclined.
upon the advice of my lawyer, i have no sig at this time
On many pages the pirateer's hands are in the pictures
Perhaps you mean 'pirate'? 'Pirateer' is not a word ('privateer' is, of course, a word, but clearly not meant here).
Mod down people who tell people how to mod in their sigs
Amazon most likely.
:)
Its happened to me to with other books.
They tend to get them in a few days early, so amazon send them out while estimating how long it takes to get there so it hopfully turns up on the day of release.
Sometimes the mail system works better then estimated
