Ah, Freedom of Speech

Under the headline, "Shop sells new Potter book by mistake," a British news service reports breathlessly that "The offending shop quickly realised its mistake and whipped the wizardry tale off the shelves," but not before the book was sold to 14 people in the Vancouver area. The shop offered author-signed copies to any customers who brought them back, but, in case that didn't work,

Justice Kristi Gill at the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered customers not to talk about the book, copy it, sell it or even read it before it is officially released.

Canadian readers are invited to send any advance tips on the book to Radio Free Mike.

Ooooh, you got this one first. Isn't this insane? "We don't want anyone to wreck the surprise." Oh please.

Yes that seems to actually be a pretty good review.... not much else seems to happen at all.

In fact the word crap springs to mind after reading the reviews.

HaHa
