Last time a Harry Potter spoiler was posted, Scholastic threatened to sue me. They even went so far as to call me while I was at work. When asked if they would sue me in normal court or special "wizard" court, they seemed to get quite angry.
I guess they never learned their lesson last time around. Maybe at the "Hogwarts" magic school of law sending out blanket canned legal threats actually works. With any luck they will sue me and since I HAVE NO MONEY THEY WILL TAKE OVER THIS SITE AND MAKE IT A HARRY POTTER FAN FICTION SITE.
I enjoy getting emails with headers like the following:

You're not bound by the law to be courteous. Personally, I was really pissed when I heard about 606. This time around, I was expecting it. Plus, these facts don't take much away from the work as a whole. The point of book 6 wasn't to know Dumbledore dies; it's to enjoy the story, same with this one.
Hey max, there is an error with the custom pages. I keep getting the "YTMND is DOWN!" site plus this: SQL Query Failed.
ERROR #: 1452
ERROR: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`ytmnd/front_page_templates`, CONSTRAINT `front_page_templates_ibfk_8` FOREIGN KEY (`right_cb_2`) REFERENCES `content_boxes` (`content_box_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE)
Because 1. Ebaums still has the telemarketer phone call. 2. Scientology and Sega stopped caring. No one was really beaten. He could've kept lindsay lohan if he felt like paying the bandwidth costs. We've never really accomplished anything except for the guys that went up and vandalized his office. In this high tech world the only way you win fights on the internet is to a) Be a DG or b) have lawyers.
I thought Snape killed Dumbledore? Wait, sorry, typed the wrong thing. I thought freedom of speech was, you know, the right of every citizen. Those publishing companies are Death Eaters in and of themselves. If they didn't want people reading/leaking the book, they PROOOOBABLY shouldn't have let Librarians and Publicists have copies then, huh?
I don't understand..... in order to be copyright Infringing don't you need to do something like claim the material as your own. Clearly all any YTMNDers have done is place information on a website. And in most cases they even say were it came from, YouTube doesn't even do that!!! WHAT THE FUC|<! Those lawyers need to be fired, Lets email J.K. Rowling and tell her that her lawyers are need a Bloody Education!

what i think is so great about this is the fact that by sending you all of these bullsh*t e-mails about copyright infringement and whatnot, Scholastic Inc. are actually drawing more attention to the spoilers, which would probably have been much less viewed if nothing had come from their creation. now there's like three in the tope viewed, most made from comments made on this page, which is the beauty of ytmnd.
This is ridiculous. Threatening to sue a site, just based on what is said? ITS NOT LIKE MAX HAS A COPY OF THE BOOK IN HIS HAND! You could just be stating fiction for all they know! WHAT THE F*CK! If I knew the ending to transformers before it came out, and told people it, am I going to get my balls sued off? NO!!!!!!!!!
'Fair use and lexicography analysis likens scanning books as an additional medium for displaying the use of language (as was disputed in the Google Library Project) But some of the posts here on ytmnd were photographs, and that's probably bordering on infringement and intruding on market value.' Yeah. At least when the Snape Kills Dumbledore spoiler screenshot was posted, we had some actual PARODIES created. Are the current stream of unfunny page screenshots really worth defending?
I say if anything serious develops from these minor e-threats, just get rid of the crappy sites. Sure, Max has a pretty good record when it comes to dealing with stupid legal threats, but come on. YTMND squandered its chance to develop something remotely funny/creative to mock the Potter craze and left Scholastic with something genuine to whine about. Forget e-wars and dramatic readings. YTMND feels more like Digg at the moment, with more news/screenshot sites and less creative, humourous sites.
Isn't it nice having a clean apartment? I think so. The escorts don't get that "look" on their face when the apartment is all cleaned up. You know the one I'm talking about? Like a little part of their soul died because not only are they selling their bodies, but they're doing it in some filthy hovel? People should make a conscious effort to make an escort feel comfortable before... you know... getting down to business.
Burbage dies on pg. 12 Hedwig dies on pg. 56 Mad-Eye dies on pg. 78 Scrimgeour dies on pg. 159 Wormtail dies on pg. 471 Dobby dies on pg. 476 Snape dies on pg. 658 Fred Weasley dies on pg. 637 Harry gets ##%!ed up by Voldemort on pg. 704 but comes back to life on pg. 724 Tonks, Lupin, and Colin Creevy have their deaths confirmed on pg. 743 19 years after the events in the book: Ron has married Hermione, their two children are named Rose and Hugo Harry has married Ginny, their three children are named Lily,
I wonder how many Harry Potter fans will get their sh*t ruined tonight at Book Stores all around the world. This is one book where you would have to wait in line wearing ear muffs and a blindfold...then buy the book and run to the back of a van in the parking lot and read it to the end in one sitting before leaving if you don't want it to be ruined for you. That is if you're lucky enough to not catch any spoilers before you get to the store. The internet has a funny way of causing these things--I love it.
After escaping the clutches of yet another death eater harry and ron scurried down the muddy path in the pouring rain. Ron tripped as he an harry tumbled into a nearby alcove. Ron blushing looked into harry's gleaming spectacles when he realized where he had placed his hand. Ron asked " Is that your wand or are you just happy to see me?"
I like the "copyright rights" bit. That's a nice touch. It's not enough that the root word of "copyright" can function as a noun referring to the rights held on the subject of copying text, but they have to make "copyright" an adjective that modifies "rights" to refer to text control. I should reserve all rights to this little post so that I can have that cool R-in-a-circle thing going on.
Well, it's not like the Harry Potter spoilers makes the sites any better. It's all retarded. Nobody is a winner in this. YTMND users should just go back at creating stuff and not f*cking around. Don't get me wrong, I hate Harry Potter but the spoiler fad is retarded, pointless and not funny. I miss the Picard days...
