Internet pirates reportedly were distributing copies of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" days before the book's June 21 release. Those rumors proved false -- the pirates were kind enough to wait a few hours. But they are now at work ripping off Rowling. They started their counterfeiting binge not long after the first book was sold. These wired pilferers of Potter prose scanned the pages of the book manually, and then cobbled their files using Microsoft's eBook Reader technology. Now Harry Potter knows how the guys in Metallica feel.
