Either someone's REALLY good at faking legalese (not exactly difficult for anyone with half a brain, or those spoilers that were (previously) linked in the last post were legit.

The spoiler post has been removed.

Am undecided as to whether or not this makes me think it is legit. I'm inclined to think that it means it's all fakeitty fake fake fake.

Apparently, god does not want me to go to church this year.

ETA: Bear in mind, the only reason I disbelieve this, when it comes down to it, is that if someone's dumb enough to contact you regarding a post of spoilers, they're damn well going to insist on a gag order regarding the entire affair. If the post just...disappeared, I'd be more inclined to believe that they were real.

Because everyone knows that no one bothers to deny things that are fake. Or, frankly, if they were real. The book comes out Friday - do they really think that someone's going to say "OMG SOMEONE I LIKE DIES I WILL NOT READ THIS!" Ignoring them, I'd think, would be the best policy.

There's just enough awkward wording in there to make me thing that "letter" is a fake. I mean, when I'm reading it and my mind is reordering phrases or choosing far better wording or going "ok, this should be better explained" or even "wait, isn't the Canadian distributor (and thus the one with the actual injunction) Raincoast not Bloomsbury?"

I didn't read all the way through it. *brain hates dense blocks of text, yes it does*

As for the distributor, I don't know. I do know that Raincoast Books is the name of the bookstore that released it earlier - I assume it's Bloomsbury or...isn't it Scholastic in the US? - that distributes in Canada.

No, here's the real spoiler for the book- Ginny Weasley discovers Live Journal (http://www.sullivanet.com/snape/art/ginny-lj.jpg). Remind you of anyone? *coughs*

Here's a random piece from their page on the injunction (http://www.raincoast.com/harrypotter/injunction-notice.html) which

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a joint publishing venture in Canada between Raincoast Books Ltd. of Vancouver British Columbia and Bloomsbury Plc of London, England. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will go on sale in Canada and all other major English language markets around the world Saturday July 16th.

I assumed that although Raincoast, JKR, and Bloomsbury were all named in the injunction, Raincoast would be the pursuer of legal issues in Canadian, just as Scholastic would be in the US.
