Translation Leads to Trouble!
 
A teen, wanting to help out French Harry Potter fans, took it upon himself to translate an English copy of the latest book into French (yes, apparently the whole thing!) and posted it online.

The trouble is, not only for the typical unautorized use... but also because the actual French edition of the book isn't due out for about 3 months yet.

So, for his effort, the guy ended up spending a short time in jail!

Just goes to show you, when it's between corporations and fanbase, the corporations win. I do feel sorry for the author, but Warners had made her quite greedy.

No good deed goes unpunished. Poor guy.
