Digital Theft at Hogwarts

Dan Morrill outlines the sleuth work being done to nail the person who photographed and presumably distributed the last Harry Potter Book.

Apparently you can be identified by a forensic examination of the camera output if the camera has been registered or serviced. The publisher took out $20 million in intellectual property insurance to protect the story until the release date.

Presumably this person could be up for the money. You can run but you cannot hide. We might as well be microchipped and tagged at birth.

And I vowed that I would not blog about the book.
