Oh Lachlan where art thou

Ah, the troubled lives of billionaires - squabbling over inheritances, acquiring Russian news companies...And what of the New York Post now?

More to the point, what of HarperCollins? Nobody's saying. If anybody has any insight,
.

Meanwhile...Chinese pirates continue to sell out their countries economic development for short-term gains by raping and pillaging
Harry Potter. Nobody's saying that they shouldn't have Harry Potter - books (and movies and music) like that should probably be released in as many languages as possible as soon as humanly possible. In other words, the pirates don't HAVE to be out there first with their translations - it's only because publishers are neglecting their constituencies by not providing them with books in their own languages.

More reasons why publishers are behind the curve here in terms of content delivery. It's not enough to deliver it - if you don't deliver it quickly and in the format the marketplace wants, someone else will. Piracy (particularly in places like China) exists because there's a market for it. And that market is an opportunity, not a problem.
